President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered the U.S. military to begin military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
The U.S. military has launched a series of "decisive and powerful" strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, in response to the group's attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. These military actions, authorized by President Joe Biden, aim to degrade the Houthis' capability to conduct further attacks. The strikes targeted Houthi radar systems, drone storage and launch sites, and missile storage facilities. This operation marks a significant escalation in the U.S. response to the Houthis, who have been backed by Iran and have been attacking commercial vessels, thereby threatening global trade routes. The U.S. actions are part of a broader strategy to ensure the safety of maritime navigation and to send a strong message against such aggressions.
