US Air Strikes Hit 40+ Houthi-Controlled Locations in Yemen

The United States launched air strikes on more than 40 locations across Houthi-controlled Yemen, hitting multiple cities including Sanaa, Saada, Marib, al-Jawf, and Hodeidah, according to Houthi-linked media.

Key Locations Targeted

🔴 Sanaa International Airport – Used for both civilian & military traffic
🔴 Military camps in Amran – Suspected bases of Houthi forces
🔴 Residential homes & shops – Civilian infrastructure damaged

Impact of the Strikes

💥 Casualties: At least seven people injured, including one in Sanaa
💥 Communication blackout: Networks went down after attacks
💥 Houthi claims: At least 57 people killed in recent US air strikes

US Military Response

🔹 CENTCOM did not immediately acknowledge the strikes but has White House authorization to conduct offensive raids in Yemen without prior approval.

🔹 Houthis’ Justification: They claim attacks on Red Sea ships are in response to Israel’s blockade of aid to Gaza.

Global Reactions & UN Concerns

🕊️ UN Envoy Hans Grundberg Warns Against War

The UN's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, emphasized the urgent need for de-escalation, stating:

➡️ "A full-scale war in Yemen must be avoided."
➡️ Calls for diplomatic solutions to prevent further instability.

Houthi Attacks in the Red Sea

⚠️ Since November 2023:

▪️ 100+ attacks on ships in the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden
▪️ Two vessels sunk, one seized, four seafarers killed
▪️ Missile & drone attacks on Israel – one fatality, school damaged in Tel Aviv

Escalating Conflict – What’s Next?

With the US intensifying its air strikes and the Houthis vowing to continue attacks, the region faces a growing risk of all-out war. The UN & international community are pushing for diplomatic intervention to prevent further escalation.
