Military strikes by the United States and Britain will not go “unpunished”, Yemen’s Huthi rebels warned on Tuesday, detailing 18 raids on their territory overnight.

“These attacks will not go unanswered and unpunished,” military spokesman Yahya Saree posted on X, formerly Twitter, listing raids in Sanaa, Hodeida, Taez and Al-Bayda provinces.

Britain on Tuesday vowed to keep hampering the ability of Yemen’s Huthis to attack Red Sea shipping, following the latest joint-US strikes on the Iran-backed rebels.

“What we have done again is send the clearest possible message that we will continue to degrade their ability to carry out these attacks while sending the clearest possible message that we back our words and our warnings with action,” foreign minister David Cameron told broadcasters.
