UK PM calls cabinet meeting over Houthi attacks

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a briefing with his cabinet about how best to respond to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. The virtual cabinet meeting is currently underway. The meeting follows an earlier National Security Council gathering. The Times newspaper is reporting the US and UK are preparing to launch military strikes against the Iranian-backed militants. Houthi rebels claim their attacks are meant to send a message to Israel to stop its conflict in Gaza.
