Asked by: Stephen Morgan (Labour - Portsmouth South)
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what threat assessment he has made of Houthi military capabilities; and whether he has plans for further strikes in Yemen.
Answered by Leo Docherty - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)
The UK and our allies have responded decisively to the attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea from the Houthis’ dangerous and illegal attacks with limited, necessary and proportionate strike action on Houthi targets in self-defence. Every mission carried out by RAF aircraft is analysed carefully and informed by robust intelligence. We will not comment on operational activity.
