U.S. military strikes have targeted locations in Yemen.
Summary of U.S. Strikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen
Key Points:
U.S. Airstrikes in Yemen:
The U.S. conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in Sanaa, hitting Al-Jarraf district and other locations.
The strikes also hit Al-Bayda province, a known Houthi military stronghold.
Casualties: 9 civilians injured, including women and children.
Background & U.S. Retaliation:
Strikes follow Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping since Israel’s war with Hamas began in late 2023.
Last Saturday’s U.S. operation killed at least 31 Houthis—the largest since Trump resumed office.
Trump threatened Iran, holding it accountable for future Houthi attacks.
Houthi Response & Escalation:
Houthis vowed to increase attacks, including targeting Israel.
They fired a ballistic missile at Israel on Tuesday in response to Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
The conflict is escalating, with the U.S. increasing military pressure on the Houthis, while the group remains defiant and expands its attacks on regional targets. The risk of broader confrontation involving Iran remains high.
