Regarding the effects of the attacks on marine navigation in Bab Al Mandab and the Red Sea, the UAE expresses its sincere concern. The attacks pose an intolerable risk to global trade, regional security, and international interests.
In this sense, the UAE emphasizes how crucial it is to uphold regional security and the interests of its nations and peoples while staying within the bounds of international law and conventions.
Following weeks of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea by Houthi forces operating in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, significant airstrikes by the US and Britain on Friday hammered targets in Yemen.
Witnesses reported explosions at military installations in the coastal Hajjah governorate, a naval station at Yemen’s critical Red Sea port of Hodeidah, and military bases close to airports in the country’s capital, Sanaa, and third city, Taez.
“These targeted strikes are a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation,” Joe Biden, the president of the United States, stated.
The Houthis said that 73 airstrikes had resulted in the deaths of five of their men. They promised to take revenge and to keep attacking vessels, claiming that their actions were meant to help the Palestinians resist Israel.
