US President Donald Trump ordered a series of airstrikes in Houthi-held areas in Yemen, in retaliation for the group’s attacks on global shipping in the Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden in solidarity with Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas War in Gaza.
Trump warned of using “overwhelming lethal force" against the group to stop attacks on American vessels. “YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!" he said on his Truth Social platform, in a new warning to Houthis.
The Houthis reported explosions in their territory on Saturday evening, in Sanaa and the northern province of Saada, the rebels’ stronghold on the border with Saudi Arabia.
