Defence Secretary warns Houthis in Yemen 'UK will not hesitate to respond again'

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has warned the Houthis in Yemen the UK will not hesitate to use force again. He was speaking following the US and UK air strikes against targets on Saturday night. He told the House of Commons: "We would much rather the Houthis simply stopped attacking international shipping, stopped damaging global trade and stopped harming the prospects of their own people. Mr Shapps went on: "We're not seeking confrontation, we urge the Houthis and all those who enable them to stop these illegal and unacceptable attacks. But if necessary the UK will not hesitate to respond again in self defence."
