Yemen
President Donald Trump announced a series of airstrikes on Houthi-held areas in Yemen, targeting the Iran-backed rebels' strongholds. The Houthis reported at least 53 people were killed in the strikes. Trump vowed to use 'overwhelming lethal force' until the rebels cease attacks on global shipping.
In a social media post, he stated, 'Our brave Warfighters are carrying out aerial attacks on terrorist bases to protect American assets and restore navigational freedom.'
He also issued a warning to Iran, urging them to stop supporting the Houthis and threatening to hold the country 'fully accountable' for the actions of its proxies. The airstrikes come after weeks of escalating tensions.
The Houthis reported explosions in Sanaa and the stronghold city of Saada, with additional airstrikes early Sunday hitting Hodeida, Bayda, and Marib.
