Tensions are rising, particularly after the US killed 10 members of the Houthis in the Red Sea. This was the first time since the beginning of escalation in the Red Sea that we have seen killings.

A Houthi statement says the US "bears full responsibility" and there will be consequences. UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps says the UK is ready to take direct action against the Houthis in the region, and continued Red Sea aggression is risking miscalculation that could trigger a region-wide conflict.
