The US and UK have begun joint air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, two US defence officials told the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

The strikes are aimed at a range of targets, including radars, officials told CBS.

The Iran-backed Houthis have been targeting ships they say are linked to Israel that travel through the important Red Sea trade route.

The US and UK have previously said they are trying to protect the route.

This is the eighth strike by the US against Houthi targets in Yemen. It is the second joint operation with the UK.
