Tankers divert from Red Sea after West strikes in Yemen

The attacks were carried out from the air and sea in response to the Iran-backed Houthis' attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis have been targeting commercial vessels since late last year in attacks the groups says aim to support the Palestinians as Israel and Hamas wage war.
