Joe Biden confirms strikes in Yemen on Houthi rebels

United States President Joe Biden has confirmed that Australia supports the US and the UK launching strike attacks against the Houthi rebels. This comes after the Houthi rebels stepped up attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. In a statement from the White House, it is confirmed that the US and UK successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen. Support for the strikes comes from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands. The strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.
