EU’s choices
The European Union stands at a crossroads where the risks of economic capitulation weigh heavily against the costs of prolonged confrontation.
The US-British naval coalition has launched three air strikes on Houthi-held Yemeni airport in the port city of Hodeidah, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.
The television did not provide further details.

Local residents said on social media that the strikes hit Houthi targets.

These airstrikes occurred shortly after four other strikes carried out by coalition forces targeted the Yemeni island of Kamaran in the Red Sea, Xinhua news agency reported, citing the Houthi television.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition.
The armed Houthi group seized much of northern Yemen in late 2014, forcing the internationally recognised Yemeni government out of the capital Sanaa.
Since November last year, the Houthi group has been targeting ships linked to Israel with ballistic missiles and drones, to show solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In response, the US-British coalition in the area has since been targeting Houthi military sites to deter the group, which only led to an escalation of Houthi attacks.
