Yemen's Houthi rebels have pledged a retaliatory response following US and British airstrikes, asserting that the attacks "will not deter us." The joint strikes targeted 36 Houthi sites across 13 locations in Yemen, aimed at curbing the rebels' repeated assaults on international shipping in the Red Sea. US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the strikes' goal to disrupt Houthi capabilities. While specific targets weren't disclosed, Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that areas including Sana'a were hit. Saree affirmed their commitment to supporting Gaza despite the attacks and warned of impending retaliation against the airstrikes.
