US Airstrikes in Yemen Continue, Targeting Houthis and Drawing Civilian Casualty Claims

The US military campaign, now in its 10th day, aims to counter Houthi threats to maritime trade and regional stability, while the group accuses the strikes of targeting civilians.

• A US airstrike in Sanaa reportedly killed at least one person and injured 13 others, including children, according to Houthi-controlled health authorities.
• The US campaign, which began on March 15, targets Houthi military infrastructure, including leadership, weapons factories, and drone facilities, according to US officials.
• The Houthis claim the strikes are hitting residential areas and civilians, calling the US actions deliberate aggression, while the US has not confirmed specific strike details.
• The Houthis have retaliated with attacks on US naval vessels and Israeli targets, including a ballistic missile intercepted by Israel.
• The conflict is tied to broader regional tensions, with the US aiming to deter threats to shipping routes and pressure Iran, the Houthis' key ally.
