In a significant development, leading members of Yemen's Houthi militia have been instructed to leave their homes and workplaces in the capital, Sana’a. 

This directive comes in the wake of intensified U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas, including the al-Jiraf district, which houses several high-ranking officials.

Reports suggest that the decision was made to safeguard the leadership from potential future attacks. 

The Houthis have also advised their members to avoid public places and refrain from disclosing the locations of senior officials. 

This move underscores the heightened security concerns within the militians as tensions in the region continue to escalate.

The U.S. military's recent operations were reportedly aimed at countering threats to international shipping routes and restoring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. 

The strikes have further strained the already volatile situation in Yemen, a country grappling with one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.
