The US and UK worked together to attack Houthi targets in Yemen, but it was meant to be a small and one-time thing, according to Rishi Sunak.
The prime minister didn’t say if he would use the military again after the rebel group attacked more ships in the Red Sea.
He said the UK will protect our security, our people, and our interests when needed.
Labour supported the “targeted action”.
However, Sir Keir Starmer, the leader, said in the meeting that any military action must have a clear plan behind it.
He said that the attacks could still cause problems and “we need to prevent things from getting worse in the Middle East”.
The Houthis, a group that runs the north of Yemen and its capital Sanaa, have been attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea since November.
On Thursday, the US and UK launched air attacks on Houthi military sites in retaliation.
Mr Sunak told MPs that the government thinks all 13 planned targets were destroyed, and there’s no proof of civilian deaths yet.
He said the action taken was fair in self-defence and was not meant to make the situation worse.
He said this after American officials said the Houthis shot a missile at a ship owned by the US near Yemen.
Before, the UK Maritime Trade Operations security agency said that a ship near the city of Aden in Yemen was hit by missile fire.
Mr Sunak was asked if he will do more military action if he needs to, he said, “I won’t guess about what might happen in the future. ”
We only wanted to do one thing, and we hope the Houthi’s will stop their attacks now.
Sure We will protect our security, our people, and our interests as needed without hesitation.

Yemeni strikes meant to be temporary measure – Sunak
What I fail to see is how you are no longer even more popular than you may be at this point. You are incredibly intelligent, and your depth of knowledge on the subject led me to believe it from a variety of perspectives. It seems that people aren’t interested in anything until it has to do with Lady Gaga. Keep up the good work.
