Second wave of US and UK strikes against Houthi targets

The US and Britain launched new strikes on Monday night against Houthi targets in Yemen. Officials told CBS that the strikes were aimed at radar.

The same official added that although the US and UK have said they do not want a conflict with the Houthis, the strikes are aimed at securing Red Sea sea lanes.
