Pakistan has launched deadly retaliatory strikes inside Iran as US strikes targeted more than a dozen Houthi positions in western Yemen.

The two overnight attacks are the latest in a rippling effect in the region emanating from Israel’s war with Hamas, an Iran-backed group allied with the Houthi rebels.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry said they had targeted separatist Baloch militants in Thursday’s strikes, making good on a promise to retaliate two days after Tehran said it had attacked the bases of another group within Pakistani territory.

Iranian media said several missiles hit a village in the Sistan-Baluchestan province that borders Pakistan, killing at least nine people. Earlier reports said three women and four children were killed, all non-Iranians.

Elsewhere, the US military announced its forces conducted strikes on 14 Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired from Yemen, in the fourth day of US strikes in less than a week.

“These missiles on launch rails ... could have been fired at any time, prompting US forces to exercise their inherent right and obligation to defend themselves,” a statement from US Central Command read.

Iran says at least seven people, including four children, have been killed in missile strikes by Pakistan on Iranian soil, two days after Iran launched its own strikes in Pakistan.

Pakistan had warned Tehran there would be “serious consequences” for Tuesday’s attack, which it said killed at least two children in western Pakistan.

Multiple blasts were heard in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan on Thursday, according to state news agency IRNA.

1 hour ago Indian navy rescues commercial crew after vessel hit by Houthi drone

India’s navy rescued nearly two dozen crewers aboard a shipping vessel in the Gulf of Aden after it was struck by a Houthi drone, a spokesperson for the naval force has revealed.

The Marshall Islands-flagged MV Genco Picardy was hit late on Wednesday just hours after the US redesignated the Houthi rebels as a terrorist organisation.

The drone smashed into the side of the bulk carrier, photos posted by the Indian navy have shown, causing a fire that was quickly extinguished.

1 hour ago US, British aircraft target several areas in Yemen, Saba news agency

The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency have claimed that US and British aircraft targeted a number of areas in Yemen in overnight strikes.

The governorates that were targeted were Hodeidah, Taiz, Dhamar, al Bayda and Saada, the agency said.

The UK has not declared any involvement in the latest round of strikes on Houthi positions; the claims from Saba likely reflect a prevailing anti-US and UK sentiment among within the militant group.

2 hours ago US military conducts fresh strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen

The US military carried out more strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen on Wednesday, the US Central Command said.

The military said that it “conducted strikes on 14 Iran-backed Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen”.

It added: “These missiles on launch rails presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships in the region and could have been fired at any time prompting US forces to exercise their inherent right and obligation to defend themselves.”

It said the strikes and “other actions we have taken” would “degrade the Houthi’s capabilities to continue their reckless attacks on international and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden”.

4 hours ago US pledges new sanctions over Houthi attacks will minimize harm to Yemen's hungry millions

The United States on Wednesday put Yemen‘s Houthis rebels back on its list of specially designated global terrorists, piling financial sanctions on top of American military strikes in the Biden administration’s latest attempt to stop the militants’ attacks on global shipping.

Officials said they would design the financial penalties to minimize harm to Yemen’s 32 million people, who are among the world’s poorest and hungriest after years of war between the Iran-backed Houthis and a Saudi-led coalition.

But aid officials expressed concern. The decision would only add “another level of uncertainty and threat for Yemenis still caught in one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises,” Oxfam America associate director Scott Paul said.
