The U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The military targets included logistical hubs, air defence systems and weapons storage and launching locations, they said.

Important to note that this is a unilateral action by US and UK and that there has been no UNSC authorization for this. This is western rules based world order reading its ugly head once again.

      I’m not saying the US are the good guys but I don’t think the legal prohibition on force applies to this strike because of the antecedent conditions.
