How Yemen's media are covering the strikes
BBC Monitoring
In Yemen, the joint US-UK strikes have dominated media reporting today. The Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV channel broadcast rolling coverage of reaction and commentary - including of huge demonstrations held in the capital Sanaa and other cities, with protesters chanting pro-Palestinian and anti-US slogans.
Houthi officials were swift to condemn the strikes, which they described as an act of “idiocy” and “aggression”, aiming to “protect Israel” and “stop Yemen from supporting Palestinians”.
The group’s officials have reiterated their vow to respond to the strikes, and to deny passage to ships “linked with Israel” until humanitarian aid is allowed into Gaza.
Several prominent anti-Houthi voices also criticised the strikes. One wrote: "It is impossible to stand with America and Britain, we are against any strikes on Yemen whatever the justification.”
