UK to Provide Aerial Refueling to Saudi Arabia Against Houthi Attacks

Britain will deploy an RAF Voyager to refuel Saudi jets on defensive missions against Houthi missile and drone strikes, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said. The support lasts weeks and is under review. Houthis recently seized Mokha and Red Sea islands, declared a shipping blockade, and targeted Riyadh, threatening a strait carrying 12% of world trade.
