Mr. Speaker at my order overnight the RS engage in the second wave of strikes against humidity Targets in Yemen. We did so because we continue to see including an intelligence and ongoing and imminent threat from the Hootie to UK Commercial and Military vessels and to those of our partners in the Red Sea and wider region. I told her that we would not hesitate to respond at the axe continue in order to protect innocent life and preserve the freedom of navigation. And that is what we have done the United States Canada and the Netherlands the same as the 11th of January in self-defense and in response to a persistent threat And as with the first wave destroyed so limited to carefully selected Target with Maximum Care taken to protect civilian life something to counter every Hootie attack after it has been doing is simply not sustainable. We have already shut down dozens of Miss Alton drones talk to that civilian vessels and at the Royal Navy and the hootie's have conducted at least 12 further attacks on shipping since the 11th of January including just last night shortly before our strikes were conducted. Last week I gave the house our initial assessment of the first wave of strikes since then we have seen further evidence that they were successful in degrading the hootie's military capability. We hit two minute three sites just north of Center each containing multiple specific targets, which the hootie's used to support their attacks on shipping speaker. I want to be very clear. We are not seeking a confrontation and those who enabled them to stop these illegal and unacceptable attacks. But if necessary the United Kingdom will not hesitate to respond again in self-defense. We cannot stand by and allow these attacks to go unchallenged in action is also a trailer do I repeat that? There is no link between our actions of self defense in the Red Sea and the situation in Israel and Gaza. Do the houthis what folder am I want to be clear that those heroin glorify the who she's a time of glorifying terrorism plain and simple they will be met with a zero tolerance approach. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"U.K. Leader Says New Strikes on Houthis Were In ‘Response To a Persistent Threat’","description":"The U.S. and British militaries bombed multiple targets in eight locations used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Monday night.\n","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/LfjATyu5/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-01-23T15:20:18.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/LfjATyu5.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/LfjATyu5/","duration":"PT2M41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/LfjATyu5/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
