The U.N. Security Council voted to extend sanctions on Yemen for another year, freezing assets and banning travel by leaders of Yemen’s Houthi movement. Wednesday’s vote came after the U.S. and U.K. launched airstrikes on Yemen over the weekend, targeting what the Pentagon said were advanced weapons storage facilities. The bombings came after Houthis fired missiles and drones at Israel and attacked commercial vessels in the Red Sea in response to Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon.
