TODAY'S GERMAN TEXT

Großbritannien schickt Kampfjets nach Saudi-Arabien

Die britische Regierung hat am Dienstag gesagt: Typhoon-Kampfjets der Royal Air Force gehen nach Saudi-Arabien.

Die Jets sollen Städte und wichtige Anlagen vor Drohnen und Raketen schützen.

Sie sollen keine Ziele der Huthi im Jemen angreifen.

Großbritannien schickt auch ein A400M-Transportflugzeug und Militärberater.

Ein langer Waffenstillstand im Jemen endete im September.
