RAF Typhoons destroyed all Houthi rebel targets during second wave of strikes, PM says

The Royal Air Force has destroyed several Houthi rebel targets in Yemen in a second round of strikes against military sites, the Prime Minister has told the Commons.

Four Typhoon FGR4s were dispatched alongside US forces in a deliberate strike against Houthi sites.

Rishi Sunak told MPs: "I'm also pleased to say our initial evidence from last night’s strikes is also that all intended targets were destroyed."

He also said no civilians were believed to have been killed or injured in the latest strike on the Yemeni militants.

Mr Sunak said: "I'm pleased to say that our intelligence suggest that there were no civilian casualties from the strikes that we conducted last week - and that will of course have been our intention this time around as well.

"We take very careful time to pick targets and minimise any civilian casualties and impacts.

"As I said, last time we believe there were none, and we have no evidence to suggest there were any this time around, but of course that is just an initial assessment."

Watch: Royal Air Force and US forces carry out further strikes against the Houthi rebels

The Ministry of Defence said the air strikes had been carried out with minimum risk to civilian casualties.

These are the latest strikes to have been carried out by the RAF in response to the Houthi rebels continuing to attack merchant ships in the Red Sea.

Great Britain had previously warned that strikes would continue if shipping continued to be disrupted.

The MOD said: "Our aircraft used Paveway IV precision-guided bombs to strike multiple targets at two military sites in the vicinity of Sanaa airfield.

"Four Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s, supported by a pair of Voyager tankers, joined US forces in a deliberate strike against Houthi sites in Yemen.

"These locations were being used to enable the continued intolerable attacks against international shipping in the Red Sea."
