"First of all, they are not proportional. All of these constitute disproportionate use of force.
They are eager to turn the Red Sea into a bloodbath.
We learn from different channels that the Houthis are responding successfully against the United States or Britain."

The allied airstrikes came hours after the Houthi fighters launched a ballistic missile at a cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, according to a post by the U.S. Central Command on social media platform X on Thursday.

Yemen's Houthi group said five of its fighters were killed and six others injured in the airstrikes, vowing retaliation.
