16 Killed, 42 Wounded in Joint Offensive

Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed that at least 16 people were killed and 42 others wounded in a joint US-British airstrike on Saturday. The attack targeted sites affiliated with the Iran-backed militia, according to the rebel group.

Escalating Tensions in Yemen

The airstrikes come amidst escalating tensions in Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been fighting a long-running civil war against the internationally recognized government. The conflict has caused a humanitarian crisis, with millions of people displaced and facing food shortages.

International Response

The United States has condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, while Iran has called for an end to the US-led intervention in Yemen. President Joe Biden has reportedly sent a private message to Iran about the Houthi issue.
