Biden calls Yemen Houthis 'terrorists'
12 January 2024 20:59 GMT
On Friday, US President Joe Biden labelled Yemen's Houthi forces as a "terrorist" organisation, following a series of air strikes carried out across Yemen by American and British aircraft, ships, and submarines.
Biden said that Washington will take action against the Houthis if they persist in what he described as outrageous conduct.
The UK and the US have said that their air strikes in Yemen were in response to the group's sustained attacks on Red Sea shipping, which the group justifies as a reaction to the continuing war in Gaza.
