US-UK strikes on Houthis were “enough” – Shapps says

UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps talked about the US and UK attacking the Houthis in Yemen. He said they did this to stop more attacks on ships in the Red Sea because they had enough of it.

The US and UK attacks were trying to weaken the Houthis’ military power because they have been attacking cargo ships since November.

The Houthis are a group that runs a big part of Yemen and are friends with Hamas in Gaza.

Shapps said on BBC that they took quiet and fair actions to stop more violent behavior in the area.

The US military stopped an anti-ship missile from hitting one of its warships. The missile was sent from an area controlled by the Houthi group in Yemen.

There were no injuries or damage in the incident that happened on Sunday afternoon. It was not reported until last night.

PM Rishi Sunak is going to talk to MPs about the US-UK strikes. It will be his first time talking about it in the Commons.

More update on this story soon.
