The governments of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, the UK and US just put out a joint statement over attsack on Hothis in Yemen.
The statement cites the "broad consensus" of the international community against the Houthis, and notes a UN Security Council resolution last month calling on the rebels to halt their attacks on ships in the Red Sea, reports BBC.
The multilateral strikes, says the statement, were conducted "in accordance with the inherent right of individual and collective self-defence".
"These precision strikes were intended to disrupt and degrade the capabilities the Houthis use to threaten global trade and the lives of international mariners in one of the world’s most critical waterways."
The allies say "our aim remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea".
