The US carried out further strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen on Sunday, US Central Command (Centcom) said.

Centcom said the US struck a land-attack cruise missile and four anti-ship missiles that "were prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea".

The latest action comes a day after joint US-UK strikes on Houthi targets.

The US has also warned that it intends to take further action against Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Syria.

Houthi officials have vowed to respond to the latest US-led strikes.
