Houthis Promise Retaliation Following U.S. Strikes in Yemen

The Iran-backed militants in Yemen, claiming heavy civilian casualties, seek vengeance after U.S. military action.


In a significant escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, the Houthi militia has announced its intent to retaliate against the United States following airstrikes ordered by President Trump, which they allege resulted in the deaths of at least 31 people, including women and children.

The strikes, characterized as the largest U.S. military intervention since Trump's inauguration, specifically targeted Houthi-controlled regions across Yemen, including the capital city of Sana, as well as the provinces of Saada, al-Bayda, Hajjah, and Dhamar. Reports from Houthi media state that over 100 individuals were wounded during these assaults.

For over a year, the Houthis have conducted various operations against Israel and threatened maritime interests in the Red Sea, forming a united front with Hamas following its recent attack on Israel, which initiated a broader conflict in Gaza.

U.S. Central Command has defended the airstrikes as strategic measures aimed at safeguarding American interests and ensuring the security of maritime navigation. A video released by the command showcases precision strikes on a building compound in Yemen.

However, the casualty reports and their veracity remain unverified by independent sources, and the U.S. has not approximated the number of casualties resulting from the military action. The situation continues to develop as tensions escalate in the region.
