WASHINGTON               ADEN, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The Houthi       movement threatened a "strong and   effective response" after the United States carried out another strike in Yemen overnight, further ratcheting up tensions as Washington vows to protect shipping from attacks by the Iran-aligned group. https://ymehtq.com/bot-captcha-1?h=waWQiOjExNzM1MzksInNpZCI6MTMxNjI2NCwid2lkIjo1Mjk5OTEsInNyYyI6Mn0=eyJ&si1=&si2= The strikes have added to concerns about the escalation of the conflict that has spread through the region since the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel went to war, with Iran's allies also entering the fray from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.  The latest strike, which the United States said targeted a radar site, came a day after dozens of American and British strikes on Houthi facilities in Yemen.

The eruption, which broke out on the Reykjanes peninsula of south-west Iceland, comes after weeks of intense earthquakes and tremors. Fumes could reach Reykjavik by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. About 4,000 people were evacuated last month from Grindavik, a fishing town threatened by the lava flow. A resident living near Grindavik described "crazy" and "scary" scenes on Monday night and said she could still see the volcano exploding on Tuesday. Iceland has been braced for volcanic activity for weeks. Since late October, the region around Reykjavik has been experiencing an increase in earthquake activity. The eruption can be seen from Reykjavik, which is about 42km north-east of Grindavik. An eyewitness in...
