US and UK naval forces in the Red Sea have launched air strikes against Houthi targets across Yemen.

Western forces took action after commercial vessels were attacked by the Houthis – a political and military group who control a large part of the country.

The US has said it is “not interested in a war with Yemen” but will not hesitate to use further force.

The Houthis said Thursday night’s attacks will not go without “punishment or retaliation”.
