On Saturday, U.S. Central Command launched its largest-ever campaign of air and naval strikes against Yemen’s Houthi militia, striking dozens of sites across the country’s northwestern corner.
In a message on social media, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he had ordered «decisive and powerful military action» against the group in retaliation for its «unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.» He demanded that the group’s Iranian sponsors immediately halt weapons deliveries and other support for Houthi campaigns. «If you do, beware, because America will hold you fully accountable.»
For the first time, the strikes targeted Houthi leaders in addition to the group’s military infrastructure and weaponry, and the administration reported that «multiple» senior Houthi personnel were killed. Houthi media outlets reported that more than 30 people died and 100 people were injured in 47 airstrikes, which hit targets in Hodeidah, Bayda, Marib and the Houthi capital of Sanaa.
Going forward, Trump pledged to use «overwhelming lethal force» until the Houthis stop attacking shipping in the Red Sea.
