Watch live: Outside Downing Street as PM Sunak holds cabinet call on UK-US strikes against Houthis

Sky News published this video item, entitled “Watch live: Outside Downing Street as PM Sunak holds cabinet call on UK-US strikes against Houthis” – below is their description.

Watch live as Rishi Sunak holds a full cabinet call this evening which is thought to be about UK and US military strikes against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. It comes after an emergency COBRA meeting was held this morning.

Attacks by Houthi fighters – both on Israel and on commercial ships in the Red Sea – have stoked fears of a wider conflict in the region already affected by the war in Gaza.

On Tuesday, a British warship shot down seven drones launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi fighters in an operation with US forces to repel the largest drone and missile attack to date.

The attack came despite a warning by the United States, the UK and other partners issued a week ago to the group to end the targeting of commercial shipping or “bear the responsibility of the consequences”
