Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the US-led strikes on Yemen’s Huthis were “disproportionate”, alleging the US and Britain wanted to turn Red Sea into a “bloodbath”, AFP reports.

“First of all, they are not proportional. All of these constitute disproportionate use of force,” Erdogan told journalists in Istanbul. “It is as if they aspire to turn the Red Sea into a bloodbath.”
