US and UK strikes on Yemen's Houthi group 'blatant aggression', says Russian UN ambassador

On Friday, Russia's UN ambassador denounced the American and British airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi group as "blatant armed aggression against another country".

"These states all carried out a mass strike on Yemeni territory. I'm not talking about an attack on some group within the country, but an attack on the people of the country on the whole," Vasily Nebenzya said of the US and British action.

"Aircraft were used, warships and submarines (too)," Nebenzya added.
