UK to provide air-to-air refuelling for Saudi defence against Houthis, Burnham says

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the UK will provide "defensive air-to-air refuelling" to Saudi Arabia after Houthi missile and drone attacks. He said Riyadh requested "military support". Ministers said a single Voyager from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus will refuel Saudi jets intercepting incoming fire. Officials said the deployment is "time limited" to "for weeks".
