The UK is not seeking a confrontation in Yemen but will continue to strike against the Houthis if attacks on global shipping continue, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said.
Addressing parliament on the second round of American-British airstrikes against Houthi targets overnight, Mr Sunak said: “We are not seeking a confrontation. We urge the Houthis and those who enable them to stop these illegal and unacceptable attacks.”
“But, if necessary, the United Kingdom will not hesitate to respond again in self-defence,” he added.
“We cannot stand by and allow these attacks to go unchallenged. Inaction is also a choice. I believe it is the wrong one.”
