US 'aware' of Iranian support for Houthi forces
US Secretary of State John Kerry has said the United States is well aware of the support that Iran has been providing to Houthi forces who have driven Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the country.
Mr Kerry said the US would support countries in the Middle East who feel threatened by Iran.

Mortar fire has killed 11 civilians, all but one of them women and children, in Egypt's North Sinai.

In a separate incident in the same area, a roadside bomb targeting an armoured personnel carrier killed two police and wounded three, police said.
