Erdogan slams US, British strikes on Yemen

WORLD, Jan. 12 (YPA) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday slammed the US and British strikes on Yemen.

The US and UK have used disproportionate force in Yemen, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

Speaking to reporters after performing Friday prayers in Istanbul, Erdogan criticized the attacks on Yemen by the US and UK.

“All of these actions involve the use of disproportionate force. Israel is also using disproportionate force in Palestine,” he said.

“We receive information from various sources that the Houthis have made a very successful defense, provided a successful response, against both the US and the UK,” he said.

The US and UK carried out strikes on multiple targets inside Yemen late Thursday in response to ongoing drone and missile strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces’ attacks on Zionist ships in the Red Sea, in an expansion of the regional conflict sparked by the Zionist-American aggression on the Gaza Strip since last October.
