"International Coalition Issues Joint Statement on Global Security"
The US and UK, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, conducted strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in response to ongoing Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and surrounding areas. The strikes aimed to disrupt Houthi capabilities while avoiding escalation, in line with the UN Charter. The joint statement condemns the attacks, demands their end, and emphasizes that those supplying the Houthis are violating international law. The international response demonstrates a shared commitment to upholding navigational rights and defending mariners from unjustifiable attacks.
