US Military continues to attack Houthis, Hits 10 target areas in Yemen
US Central Command forces have continued their full-scale military operations against Houthi terrorists, with their latest assault targeting ten key areas in Yemen. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), US Central Command shared a video of the ongoing operations and stated, "CENTCOM forces continue operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists." This renewed wave of action follows an order from former President Donald Trump on March 15, directing the US military to launch "decisive and powerful military action" against the Houthi militants. The operation is part of the broader effort to combat the Houthi insurgency, which has been backed by Iran in the ongoing conflict in Yemen. In response to these strikes, the Houthis have reportedly launched retaliatory attacks. They have made statements vowing to "meet escalation with escalation," signaling their intention to continue their aggressive actions in retaliation to the US-led military operations. The situation remains tense, with both sides locked in a continued struggle for control and influence in the region.

US Continues strikes on Houthis amid growing tensions over shipping attacks
U.S. Central Command confirmed on March 16 that American forces are continuing operations against Yemen's Houthi group. Washington has vowed to keep striking until the Houthis stop attacking shipping. A video released by the U.S. military shows fighter jets taking off from an undisclosed location, though Reuters could not verify the video's date or location. On March 17, Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported that the U.S. launched two airstrikes on Hodeidah. In response, the Houthis warned they might escalate their attacks in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes on March 15. President Trump announced a "decisive and powerful" military response against the Houthis on March 15, accusing them of piracy, violence, and terrorism targeting American assets. Trump said, "I’ve ordered the U.S. Military to take decisive action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, who have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones." Trump also emphasized that the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" against the Houthis, citing their actions as harmful to global trade by choking transportation routes like the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, and violating the principle of Freedom of Navigation. These airstrikes, which the Houthi-run health ministry claims killed at least 53 people, are the largest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office. A U.S. official said the campaign could last for weeks. The Houthis, who have controlled much of Yemen for years, have launched numerous attacks on shipping since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in late 2023, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza.
