In a significant military action, the United States has conducted a series of air strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, a move President Donald Trump characterized as "decisive and powerful." The strikes were launched in response to recent missile attacks by the Houthis on U.S. aircraft and allies, which Trump alleged have resulted in "billions of dollars" in costs and jeopardized lives.

The United States targets Houthi forces in Yemen following missile attacks on shipping, according to President Trump.
The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have recently intensified their aggression in the region, particularly targeting shipping routes in the Red Sea as a reaction to Israel's ongoing invasion of Gaza. According to reports from the Houthi-controlled health ministry, at least nine individuals were killed and another nine were wounded in the U.S. air strikes.
Despite the U.S. military response, Houthi representatives have vowed to continue their attacks, signaling an escalation in the conflict and indicating that tensions in the region are far from resolved. Arab media outlets have reported on the retaliatory stance of the Houthis, who remain adamant about their operations against perceived threats in the area.
