Overview

  • The U.S. military has conducted over 800 airstrikes in Yemen since mid-March 2025 under Operation Rough Rider, targeting Houthi positions.
  • U.S. Central Command reports hundreds of Houthi fighters and leaders killed, while Houthi media claim civilian casualties, including women and children, in Sanaa.
  • Houthi forces have launched missiles toward Israel, with one intercepted by Israeli forces, and continue to disrupt Red Sea shipping and Suez Canal traffic.
  • The Houthis cite solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, linking their actions to the broader U.S.-Iran rivalry and regional tensions following the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
  • U.S. strikes have targeted Houthi-controlled oil infrastructure and financial networks to undermine funding and secure critical maritime trade routes.
