Houthi attacks ‘increasing’ as rebels strike UK-owned ship

Liberal Party Defence and National Security Policy Chair Lincoln Parker says the world is becoming a “dangerous place” as attacks from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels ramp up. Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for the assault on a British-owned vessel in the Gulf of Aden. “The takeaway from this really is that these Houthi attacks are increasing,” Mr Parker told Sky News host Erin Molan. “We weren’t able to send a single warship to help our allies in the Red Sea. “The world is a dangerous place and it has become even more dangerous over the last couple of years with all of the wars and all of the conflicts that are going on.”
