US President Donald Trump recently shared a video purportedly showing an air strike killing dozens of Houthi fighters in Yemen. The attack occurred after the Houthis escalated their attacks on American ships in the Red Sea since October 2023, as a response to the war in Gaza.
The US has been conducting strikes against the rebel group, which is backed by Iran, in retaliation for downing several American ships. The strike campaign aims to weaken Iran’s nuclear program and advance its freedom of navigation in the region. According to the White House, the attacks have taken out key Houthi leaders and critical members launching strikes on naval vessels.
The Houthis claim that six people were killed in a US strike in Yemen on Wednesday, but this figure is not verified. The conflict between the US and the Houthis has been escalating since October 2023, with multiple reports of US strikes in Yemen.
