Russia accuses US and UK of destructive 'escalation' in Yemen

Russia on Friday condemned strikes by the United States and Britain targeting Huthi rebels in Yemen as an "escalation" with "destructive objectives".

"The US strikes on Yemen are a new example of disinformation by the Anglo-Saxons... and a total violation of international law aimed at an escalation in the region to attain their destructive objectives," foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.
