NATO has described the British and US strikes on Yemen as defensive, AFP reports, citing a statement from the alliance.
“NATO says the US-led strikes against the Houthis are ‘defensive’,” RIA Novosti quoted the statement as saying.
Earlier, the US and Britain carried out a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen.
Later, Yemeni Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein al-Azi said that London and Washington should be ready to pay a high price for the massive strikes on Yemen.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that by strikes on Yemen, the USA was diverting attention from Kiev’s problematic underlings.
