Singapore not involved in US-led strikes against Yemen’s Houthis, ‘contributing personnel’ for Red Sea operation
Singapore’s Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said on Saturday the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) did not participate in the latest military strikes against Yemen’s Houthis.
On Friday, the United States military said it had carried out another strike on the Houthi rebels after the Iran-backed militants warned of further attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The strike came a day after dozens of US and British strikes on the Iran-backed group’s facilities.
In response to CNA’s queries on Saturday, a Mindef spokesperson clarified that Singapore is “contributing personnel” to Operation Prosperity Guardian (OPG) – an effort under the ambit of the multinational Combined Maritime Forces’ Combined Task Force 153: Red Sea Maritime Security.
