U.S. Launches Military Strikes in Yemen
Story by Nancy A. Youssef • 5h
President Trump said he had ordered “decisive and powerful” U.S. strikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels after the group vowed to resume attacks on ships transiting the Red Sea and nearby waters, saying that “hell will rain down” to counter the rebels’ operations.
“Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom,” Trump posted Saturday on his Truth Social platform. “No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.”
The U.S. will hold the Houthis “fully accountable,” the president said. The Houthis are among the combatants in Yemen’s long-running civil war.
Local reports said there were explosions Saturday around the capital, San’a. A Houthi Health Ministry official said at least 31 civilians had been killed and 101 injured Saturday. “We condemn and denounce the crime of targeting civilians and civilian sites, considering it a complete war crime,” a spokesman for the ministry said on X.
