Let us remind you that on the night of January 12, Great Britain and the United States launched strikes on targets in four provinces of Yemen. US President Joe Biden said the airstrikes were a response to a threat to freedom of navigation. Subsequently, the US and UK launched two more attacks to damage the Ansar Allah group in the north of Hodeidah province.

On January 17, the ruling Ansar Allah movement in northern Yemen attacked the American ship Genco Picardy in the Gulf of Aden after US and British aircraft began bombing their positions. The American military later clarified that the ship was damaged, but remained afloat.

On January 18, the United States launched a new attack on targets of the Houthi movement Ansar Allah in Yemen. Explosions occurred in the provinces of Damar, Saada, Taiz, Hodeidah and Al-Bayda. According to CNN, at least 10 strikes were carried out on 30 targets.
