The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Yemen: Britain and US launch air strikes on Houthi rebels” – below is their description.
The Royal Air Force has launched targeted strikes against military bases used by Houthi rebels in Yemen, with Rishi Sunak saying the UK will “always stand up for freedom of navigation and the free flow of trade”.
British aircraft and Royal Navy ships are involved in the operation, approved by Cabinet ministers in an emergency joint call.
The Prime Minister said British forces participated in joint attacks with the US that are “targeted strikes against military facilities” and he stressed that the action taken was “limited, necessary and proportionate… in self-defence”.
The US Air Force said American and British forces struck more than 60 targets in 16 locations.
