The US military has fired another wave of missile strikes against Houthi-controlled sites, marking the fourth time in a week that it has directly targeted the group in Yemen. The media group claimed that UK aircraft were also involved in the strikes but the Guardian was not able to verify those claims. The Houthis, who control most of Yemen, say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Despite the sanctions and military strikes – including a large-scale operation last Friday carried out by US and British forces that hit more than 60 targets across Yemen – the Houthis are continuing their harassment campaign of ships in the Red Sea. More shipping companies have said they would not risk using the Red Sea route until the crisis subsided.

Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government, which was installed in late October 2022, has introduced new regulations for migrant rescue ships in January 2023 which activists have condemned, as they say it intentionally makes their job much harder and puts migrants’ lives at risk. Ships cannot embark on more than one rescue operation at a time unless authorised to do so by Italian authorities. If a ship is found in violation of the decree more than once, the vessel can be seized by Italian authorities. It resumed its original course to Bari, though authorities had dismissed the Ocean Viking from the mission as it was too far away. “We know this is a tactic to try and stop our operation rather than something that is valid in some way,” Mary Finn, another Ocean Viking rescuer, said.
