US Launches Major Airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi Rebels, Killing Over 30

The strikes, ordered by President Trump, target Houthi military sites after threats to Red Sea shipping lanes, drawing warnings from Iran and Russia.

The US launched over 40 airstrikes across Yemen, killing at least 31 people, including women and children, and injuring more than 100, according to Houthi reports.
The strikes come in response to Houthi threats to resume attacks on Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea over Gaza's blockade, disrupting global trade routes.
President Trump warned Iran to cease its support for the Houthis and vowed to use overwhelming force to protect international shipping lanes.
Iran denied direct control over the Houthis but pledged a decisive response to any US action against its interests, while Russia called for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
The US military described the operation as the beginning of a large-scale campaign to dismantle Houthi missile and drone capabilities, with further escalation possible.
