U.S. Strikes Houthis in Yemen Following Maritime Threats

American airstrikes kill dozens in response to Houthi attacks on shipping, escalating tensions with Iran.

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.
