00:00Mr Speaker, yesterday evening, Royal Air Force Typhoons
00:03successfully conducted strikes against Houthi military targets
00:07in Yemen in a joint operation with our US allies.
00:12This action was in line with long-standing policy
00:15of the UK Government to defend freedom of navigation in the Red Sea
00:20after Houthi attacks fuel regional instability
00:23and risked economic security for families in the UK.
00:27Mr Speaker, I'm pleased to say that all UK aircraft and personnel
00:31returned safely, and I pay tribute to the professionalism
00:36and bravery of all our servicemen and servicewomen.
