U.S. Launches Extensive Airstrikes on Houthi Rebels in Yemen
The strikes, ordered by President Trump, aim to halt attacks on global shipping and deter Iran-backed Houthi operations in the Red Sea.
- At least 31 people, including women and children, were killed in U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, with over 100 others wounded.
- The U.S. campaign was launched in response to Houthi attacks on military and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, which have disrupted global shipping routes.
- President Trump vowed to use 'overwhelming lethal force' until the Houthis cease their operations, while also warning Iran to end its support for the group.
- The Houthi rebels have pledged retaliation, calling the strikes a 'war crime,' and reiterated their intent to continue operations tied to the Gaza conflict.
- U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emphasized that the strikes aim to restore freedom of navigation and neutralize the Houthis' operational capabilities.
