This is the best summary I could come up with:
The US military carried out another strike on a Houthi-controlled site in Yemen early Saturday, targeting a location which they considered to pose a threat to commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
UN Secretary General António Guterres urged all sides “not to escalate the situation even more” after initial strikes, which, hit 28 locations and over 60 targets, with President Joe Biden warning of the possibility of further strikes against the Houthis.
The decision to strike again came after the US Navy issued a warning on Friday, advising American-flagged vessels to avoid specified areas in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden for the next 72 hours following the initial airstrikes.
The Houthis had vowed retaliation, escalating tensions in a region already beset by the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
As protesters gathered in Tehran on Friday, burning British, American and Israeli flags as they chanted slogan condemning all three nations for the strikes.
At a UN Security Council meeting, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused the US, UK, and their allies of “blatant armed aggression” against Yemen, cautioning that continued escalation could lead to a catastrophe in the entire Middle East region.
