US and UK strike Houthi rebel targets in Yemen
US and UK forces have carried out air strikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen.
President Biden says the strikes are in response to attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis on ships in the Red Sea since November.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak added that the strikes are "limited, necessary and proportionate action in self-defence".
Strikes are reported in the capital Sanaa, the Houthi Red Sea port of Hudaydah, Dhamar and north-western Houthi stronghold of Saada.
The Houthis control much of Yemen and say they are supporting ally Hamas by targeting shipping headed to Israel.
