U.S. and British airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

At U.S. local time on the 11th, Biden issued a statement that the U.S. military had given the Houthi forces located in Yemen a number of targets to carry out strikes on. Britain participated in the strikes, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands.
He said the strikes were a "direct response" to continued Houthi attacks on international merchant ships traveling through Red Sea waters, including an attack on September 9 that "targeted U.S. vessels." These attacks put United States and partner nation personnel at risk, jeopardize international trade, and pose a threat to freedom of navigation. The United States will take further measures if necessary.

Biden said more than 50 countries have been affected by 27 attacks on international merchant ships. Crews from more than 20 countries have been threatened or hijacked by pirates, and more than 2,000 ships have been forced to take a detour in order to avoid the Red Sea, which could lead to weeks of delays in product shipments.
