A second major wave of airstrikes has been carried out by American and British forces on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the group’s attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea.

The first round of strikes did not deter the Houthis from continuing to attack shipping and the prime minister was pushed in the House of Commons today on what Britain’s long-term strategy would be if the Houthis keep up their attacks.

On this episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by military analyst Michael Clarke and Sky’s international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn to analyse the latest decisions made in the conflict.

Plus, Sky’s deputy political editor Sam Coates discusses the politics behind the strikes and what the endgame looks like on home soil.
