US Claims 800 Houthi Targets Struck After Weeks of Airstrikes

Since launching strikes on 15 March, the US military says it has hit over 800 Houthi targets in Yemen, killing hundreds of fighters and leaders. The strikes aim to end Houthi threats to Red Sea and Gulf of Aden shipping. Houthis reported US attacks killed civilians, including women and children. Despite Western military presence, Houthis continue targeting vessels, claiming support for Palestinians. Trump recently ordered major strikes, redesignated the Houthis as a "Foreign Terrorist Organisation," and warned Iran against arming them. Yemen's decade-long civil war has killed over 150,000 people and displaced millions, creating a severe humanitarian crisis.
