UK backs Saudi Arabia with RAF Voyager refuelling support amid Houthi campaign
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported49m ago
The United Kingdom has committed Royal Air Force Voyager aircraft to provide mid-air refuelling support for Saudi Arabian military operations. This deployment comes as the United Kingdom and fellow G7 nations formally condemn ongoing strikes launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels against Saudi territory, expressing solidarity with Riyadh in the face of the escalating conflict.
The Houthi campaign has raised international security concerns regarding regional maritime stability. Observers note that recent territorial gains by the Houthi movement have strengthened the influence of Iran and its regional allies over critical maritime transit routes, specifically the Strait of Hormuz.
