Overview

  • US airstrikes killed at least six people and injured 30 in Yemen's Sanaa province overnight, according to Houthi reports.
  • The Houthis claim to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Hajjah governorate with a locally made missile, though this remains unconfirmed by US officials.
  • The Houthis continue to launch missile attacks on Israeli targets, with recent strikes aimed at Tel Aviv and Ashdod intercepted by Israeli defense systems.
  • Over 200 US airstrikes have been conducted since March 15, targeting Houthi missile sites, drone facilities, and command centers in an effort to secure maritime routes and deter Iranian influence.
