The strike was conducted after dark, when the likelihood of any civilians being in the area was reduced, a statement said, adding that its aircraft returned safely.
Defence Secretary John Healey: “We conducted these strikes, supported by the US, to degrade Houthi capabilities and prevent further attacks against UK and International shipping.”
“A 55% drop in shipping through the Red Sea has already cost billions, fuelling regional instability and risking economic security for families in the UK,” he said.
Tuesday’s operation was in line with Britain’s long-standing policy in response to Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
The Houthis claim their actions are in response to Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza – an assertion dismissed by the UK and allies.
Earlier this year US plans for an attack on Yemen were leaked after senior Trump officials shared details on a group chat that included a journalist.
