WASHINGTON—The U.S., Britain and key allies warned the Houthi Yemeni rebel group Wednesday to cease

its attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea or bear the consequences.

“Ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are illegal, unacceptable, and profoundly destabilizing,” says the statement issued by 12 nations. “The Houthis will bear the responsibility of the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, and free flow of commerce in the region’s critical waterways.”
