UK to deploy fighter jets, military advisers to Saudi Arabia as defence from Houthi attacks

The United Kingdom is deploying Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jets and military advisers to Saudi Arabia to protect Saudi cities from increasing Houthi attacks. The British government announced the deployment as a defensive measure to provide protection against ongoing aerial threats in the region.

According to the official announcement, the deployed aircraft will operate strictly in a defensive role and will not engage in offensive strikes. The move comes in response to a ramp-up in attacks from Houthi forces targeting Saudi territory.
