🇺🇸 US military escalates response to Houthi aggression
🇺🇸
US military escalates response to Houthi aggression, conducting 15 precision strikes on targets across Yemen, including military outposts, Hodeidah airport, and sites near Sanaa, Dhamar, and al-Bayda. This operation, targeting Houthi offensive capabilities, comes after nearly 100 attacks on Red Sea shipping since November, which have resulted in sunken vessels and maritime casualties. The strikes represent a shift from primarily defensive measures to a more proactive stance, as the Biden administration grapples with containing regional fallout from the Israel-Hamas conflict while safeguarding vital shipping lanes.

According to the US, military aircraft and warships bombed Houthi strongholds at about five locations. Houthi media say the airport in Hodeidah was hit, as well as a military base in the Katheib area. Smoke could also be seen rising from the capital, Sana'a. This is the latest escalation of violence in the Middle East as calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza continue.
