Yemen rebels threaten 'escalation' after US, UK strikes

Yemen's Houthi rebels on Friday threatened to escalate attacks on shipping in response to overnight strikes by United States and Britain, which Houthi media said had killed 16 people.

"The American-British aggression will not prevent us from continuing our military operations in support of Palestine," Huthi official Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti said on social media platform X, adding the rebels would "meet escalation with escalation".
