The Dhaka Times Desk The United States and the United Kingdom launched new attacks on various targets of the Houthi armed group in Yemen. Two countries attacked 18 Houthi targets.
The joint attack by US and British forces took place after a series of attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
US and UK warplanes have struck 18 Houthi positions in Yemen, the Pentagon said. This is the fourth joint operation between the two superpower allies against the Iran-backed Houthis. - BBC news.
Saturday's strikes targeted Houthi storage facilities, drones, air defense systems, radars and an armed helicopter belonging to the group, the media report said. The UK, on the other hand, says the allies have worked to further suppress the Houthis' capabilities.
In a joint statement, the Pentagon said that Saturday's strike specifically targeted 18 targets linked to the Houthi underground weapons infrastructure, their missile infrastructure, drone systems, air defense systems and radar systems at eight locations in Yemen, as well as a single helicopter.
In this regard, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said, America 'will not hesitate to take necessary steps to protect the free flow of life and commerce on one of the world's most important waterways'.
It should be noted that recent Houthi attacks on commercial ships suspected of having ties with Israel have increased tension in the Red Sea. US and British forces have also responded to attacks against the Houthis. In contrast, the Houthis have also declared American and British interests as legitimate targets of attack.
In addition to the offensive against the Houthis, the United States has formed a multinational naval task force whose mission is to protect the security of shipping on the Red Sea transit route. Reciprocal attacks by the Western coalition, including the United States, with the Houthis have also raised widespread concern.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
