UK Agrees to Help Saudi Arabia Refuel Aircraft in Counter-Houthi Operations

The United Kingdom has agreed to provide refuelling support to Saudi Arabia following a request from Riyadh. The support comes as Houthi forces, who control Yemen's most populated regions, have stepped up attacks against Saudi Arabia. This escalation represents a new front in a broader regional conflict. The wider war traces its origins to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
