US Strikes Kill Key Houthi Leaders in Yemen

The US military has launched a series of strikes in Yemen targeting the Houthi movement, resulting in the deaths of key leaders, including the group's top missile specialist. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz confirmed that these operations, initiated after Houthi threats to attack Red Sea shipping amid the Gaza conflict, have successfully hit Houthi headquarters, communication nodes, and weapons factories. Notably, senior Houthi leader Mansour Al-Saadi was reported injured in one of the airstrikes, which underscores the intensity of the US campaign to disrupt Houthi activities. The strikes have reportedly resulted in at least 53 casualties, highlighting the severe impact on the already war-ravaged regions of Yemen. The operations reflect escalating tensions in the area and the broader implications of the ongoing conflict. The US military has not disclosed the names of all the officials killed in these strikes.
