BBC World Service - BBC OS, US and UK launch fresh strikes on Houthis

The Houthi movement in Yemen says latest wave of strikes will not go without a response

Based in Yemen, the Iran-backed Houthis have been targeting ships they say are linked to Israel and the West that travel through the important Red Sea trade route.

Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have warned that the latest strikes by the US and Britain will not go unanswered. The Pentagon said eight locations had been hit in response to the continued targeting of shipping in the Red Sea. The group has been targeting merchant ships in a show of support for the Palestinians in the war with Israel. Our security correspondent answers listener questions about the ongoing conflict and its wider implications.

We speak to our reporter in Moscow about a group of women who are publicly criticising the Russian authorities. Their husbands are among the 300,000 reservists mobilised by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the war in Ukraine in autumn 2022.

Amazon has been fined €32m in France for "excessive" surveillance of its workers, including measures the data watchdog found to be illegal. It found Amazon tracked activity so precisely that it led to workers having to potentially justify each break. Our reporter explains the background to the story.
