U.S. Conducts Airstrikes in Yemen Targeting Houthi Rebels
The United States has launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen aimed at Houthi rebel positions, escalating tensions in the region. The strikes, confirmed by multiple sources including AP News, The Times of Israel, and PBS, were carried out in response to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, which the rebels claim are in solidarity with Hamas in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Reports from the ground indicate that the airstrikes occurred around Sanaa, the Yemeni capital controlled by the Houthis. At least one person was killed in the attacks, according to The Times of Israel. The U.S. military has released video footage of the strikes, showcasing the precision of the operation.
The Houthis, who have been in conflict with the Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition since 2014, have vowed to continue their attacks despite the U.S. military action. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further escalation as the U.S. and its allies seek to secure vital maritime routes.
