Days ago Yemen’s Houthis announced they are resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping over Israel’s failure to fully open humanitarian aid corridors into the Gaza Strip.
But President Trump has responded preemptively by on Saturday ordering a series of new airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. The US commander-in-chief was warned he’ll continuing using “overwhelming lethal force” until the Iranian-backed Houthi completely halt their attacks.
The Houthis, known officially as the Ansar Allah movement, said that 15 people died in an updated figure, as a result of Saturday’s wave of US airstrikes.
Huge explosions were heard and witnessed in the capital in the northern province of Saada. Black smoke was seen over the Sanaa airport complex, which reportedly also hosts a very large military site.
