AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticized the United States and Britain for launching military strikes against targets in Yemen, stating that the two countries are trying to turn the Red Sea into a “sea of blood”.
“All of these actions involve the use of disproportionate force. Israel is also using disproportionate force in Palestine,” Erdogan told reporters on Friday in Istanbul.
He added that the US and the UK try to turn the Red Sea into a “sea of blood.”
Erdogan also noted that Yemeni air defenses have intercepted and shot down most of the incoming missiles.
“We receive information from various sources that the Houthis have made a very successful defense, provided a successful response, against both the US and the UK,” the Turkish leader said.
Early on Friday, US and British forces launched air, ship and submarine strikes against targets across Yemen.
“American-Zionist-British aggression against Yemen launches several raids on the capital Sana’a, Hudaydah governorate, Sa’ada, and Dhamar,” Houthi official Abdul Qader al-Mortada wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
US President Joe Biden confirmed the assaults, saying they were conducted by the United States and Britain, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands.
