UK deploys Typhoons, advisers to Saudi Arabia for Houthi missile defense

The UK will deploy RAF Typhoon fighter jets, an A400M transport, and military advisers to Saudi Arabia for defensive operations against Houthi missile and drone strikes. The aircraft are restricted to defensive missions and will not strike Houthi targets, marking a limited escalation of UK military support to the kingdom. This follows continued Houthi attacks on Saudi territory, underscoring regional instability and UK commitment to Gulf allies.
