Overview

• The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed RAF Eurofighter jets conducted strikes on a suspected Huthi drone factory near Sanaa, Yemen.
• The targeted facility was reportedly used to produce drones for attacks on Red Sea and Gulf of Aden shipping, according to intelligence reports.
• This marks the first official acknowledgment of British involvement in the US-led air campaign against the Iran-backed Huthi militia.
• Since mid-March, US forces have struck over 1,000 Huthi targets, including command centers, air defenses, and weapons facilities.
