Overnight, @RoyalAirForce Typhoons conducted strikes against a Houthi military target in Yemen to defend freedom of navigation, strengthen regional stability, protect UK economic security, and reduce the Houthis' capacity to launch further attacks. ow.ly/MJU850VK77w
This government will always act in the interests of our national and economic security. Royal Air Force Typhoons have successfully conducted strikes against a Houthi military target in Yemen and all UK aircraft and personnel have returned safely to base. We conducted these strikes, supported by the US, to degrade Houthi capabilities and prevent further attacks against UK and international shipping. This action was taken in response to a persistent threat from the Houthis to freedom of navigation. A 55% drop in shipping through the Red Sea has already cost billions, fuelling regional instability and risking economic security for families in the UK. The Government is steadfast in our commitment to reinforcing global stability and protecting British working people. I am proud of the dedication and professionalism shown by our service personnel involved in this operation. John Healey MP, Secretary of State for Defence

#Estonia 🇪🇪 takes defence seriously, dedicating at least 3.3% of its GDP in the coming years. 💪 Our focus? Among other priorities, we’ll keep building up our #ammunition stockpiles, including long-range capabilities. 🎯
