UK PM Burnham agrees to Saudi request for refuelling support
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday he had agreed to a request from Saudi Arabia to provide defensive air-to-air refuelling for a limited time period, a move he described as helping to stabilise the wider region.
Riyadh requested support after the Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabia, a new front in the wider war that began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
“We have received a request from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for military support and on the advice of the defence secretary and the foreign secretary, last night I agreed to that request for defensive air-to-air refuelling,” he told reporters as he travelled to New York for a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
“Because of course Saudi Arabia has been experiencing attack … and we need to keep those pathways open, and hence our agreement to the request,” he said.
