Trump Orders Major Airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi Militia
The U.S. strikes target Houthi leaders and infrastructure, citing threats to international shipping, as tensions escalate with Iran and regional allies react.
- The U.S. launched its largest military operation in the Middle East under President Trump, targeting Houthi militia positions in Yemen, including in the capital, Sanaa.
- At least 31 people were reported killed and over 100 injured, with claims of civilian casualties, though these numbers remain unverified.
- The strikes were in response to Houthi threats to resume attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, which the U.S. says endanger global trade and navigation.
- The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has vowed to retaliate, escalating tensions in the region, while Iran and Russia condemned the U.S. actions as violations of international law.
- The operation aims to pressure Iran to cease its support for the Houthis, as the U.S. signals its commitment to protecting allied interests, including Israel, in the region.
