YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sky News military analyst Prof Michael Clarke looks at the military operation behind the UK-US air strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen.

He said fighter jets and support aircraft would have flown a 3,200-mile round trip from British bases in Cyprus, spending at least eight hours in the air.

The US and UK hit several targets in western Yemen in response to repeated Houthi attacks on Western shipping in the Red Sea.
