London plans military support for Saudi Yemen
Saudi Arabia has requested that Britain provide military and diplomatic support to counter the Houthi group "Ansar Allah" in Yemen. The aim is to strengthen defenses against missile and drone attacks by the Houthis and to halt their advance along the Red Sea coast. Reports indicate that Saudi Arabia is seeking field support to counter the Houthis' threats to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital passage for global trade and energy supplies, amid escalating fighting since July and Houthi advances in the region. The British government has expressed its approval so far for deploying military advisors but has not made a decision regarding direct involvement. Meanwhile, the United States has shared intelligence information without carrying out any direct strikes.
