The US and UK have carried out air strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen with the aim of deterring attacks on ships passing through the Red Sea. The strikes were also backed by a number of the US and UK’s allies, the BBC reports.
Missiles were launched overnight into Friday, hitting dozens of sites – with some casualties reported. The Houthis say they are not deterred by the attacks, but the US suggests the strikes have damaged the rebel group’s military capability.
