Britain's Air Force Supports Saudi Arabia Against Houthi Attacks
Deutschlandfunk reports that Britain will provide Saudi Arabia with air-to-air refuelling support for several weeks. The assistance is intended to allow Saudi aircraft to remain airborne longer during defensive operations against the Houthis. The move connects the Yemen front directly to the security of global oil routes after, according to Deutschlandfunk, the Houthis captured strategic positions around Bab al-Mandab and attacked Saudi Arabia.
