Houthi Rebels Declare All US and UK Interests as 'Legitimate Targets

The Houthi rebels have declared US and UK interests as valid targets for Yemen's armed forces in retaliation to what they describe as overt hostilities against Yemen.

This comes after a series of overnight strikes, which the Houthi leadership warns will be met with forceful response. The council stated that any sense of safety for the US and UK is misplaced and that the rebels' military response will ultimately prevail.

The declaration follows significant strikes that resulted in five casualties, amid heightened Houthi actions against ships associated with Israel, spurred by the conflict with Hamas.
