U.S. Conducts Airstrikes in Yemen Targeting Houthi Strongholds

The United States has intensified its military operations in Yemen, conducting airstrikes targeting key Houthi positions in Sanaa and other areas, in response to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. These strikes, which reportedly resulted in at least 31 fatalities, mark the largest U.S. operation since President Trump resumed office. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have vowed to escalate their retaliatory efforts, including missile strikes toward Israel, as they assert independence in their strategic decisions. This escalation is part of a broader conflict involving the Houthis' support for Palestinians in Gaza amid ongoing tensions. The situation continues to raise concerns over regional stability and global shipping disruptions, particularly in the Red Sea. As the U.S. aims to counteract Iranian influence, the humanitarian impact of these military actions is also garnering attention.
