  • The Houthis have retaliated with missile and drone attacks, claiming to have targeted Israeli sites, including Ben Gurion Airport, and U.S. warships in the Red Sea.
  • Reports from Houthi-controlled media allege civilian casualties, though the U.S. military has not confirmed or provided details on potential harm to non-combatants.
  • The USS Carl Vinson and USS Harry S. Truman are positioned in the region to support ongoing U.S. operations, with additional stealth bombers stationed at Diego Garcia.
