ADEN/DUBAI (Reuters) -The U.S. hit targets across Yemen in airstrikes overnight, including Saada province, which Yemeni sources say is a long-time hideout for Iran-aligned Houthi leaders, and the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported more than 10 strikes on various locations, including the Al-Safra district of Saada. The area houses weapons storage and training sites, and is considered one of the group's most important and heavily fortified military strongholds, according to Yemeni sources.
The strikes, launched on Saturday over the Houthis' attacks against Red Sea shipping, are the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January.
The Iran-aligned Houthis have carried out over 100 attacks on shipping after Israel's war with Hamas began in late 2023, saying they were acting in solidarity with Gaza's Palestinians. The attacks have disrupted global commerce and set the U.S. military off on a costly campaign to intercept missiles.
