Watch: Fighter jets strike targets in Yemen

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.

Missiles were launched overnight into Friday, hitting dozens of sites - with some casualties reported.
