Suspected U.S. airstrikes were reported in Yemen, targeting Houthi rebels in multiple locations across the country, including the capital, Sanaa. The extent of the damage and casualties is unclear, but initial reports suggest at least seven people were injured. The strikes appeared to be more intense compared to previous days, with the American operation under President Trump being more extensive than under President Biden. The targets included Sanaa International Airport and various sites in other cities controlled by the rebels. The Houthis claimed the attacks resulted in communication networks going down.
The new campaign of airstrikes began after the rebels threatened to target “Israeli” ships, which they had previously targeted with missiles and drones, resulting in the sinking of vessels and the death of sailors. The attacks have raised the Houthis’ profile amid economic problems and a crackdown on dissent and aid workers at home. The U.S. Central Command, which now has authority to strike offensively in Yemen without pre-approval, did not immediately acknowledge conducting the strikes. The ongoing airstrikes are part of Yemen’s long-standing conflict, which has caused humanitarian crises in the region.
