Overview

• U.S. forces launched extensive airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, killing at least 31 people and injuring over 100, according to Houthi sources.
• The strikes were ordered by President Donald Trump after Houthi threats to target ships in the Red Sea, which they claim are linked to Israel.
• In retaliation, the Houthis claimed to have launched missile and drone attacks on the USS Harry Truman, though the U.S. has not confirmed these reports.
• The conflict has heightened regional tensions, with Iran condemning the strikes as 'barbaric' and warning against further U.S. military actions.
• The United Nations has called for an immediate halt to hostilities, warning that the escalation risks destabilizing the broader region.
