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.

The U.S. military launched significant airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, including Saada and Hodeidah, in response to over 100 Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping. The operation marks the largest U.

Yemen’s Houthis have proved resilient to a months-long military campaign, spanning the Trump and Biden administrations, to halt the group’s attacks.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed their fourth attack on a US warship in the Red Sea within 72 hours, escalating tensions in the region.

The Yemeni Houthi group said Tuesday that it attacked the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, the third such attack in 48 hours. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said his group also targeted a US destroyer in retaliation for US airstrikes on Yemen, without giving details.
