U.S. Raids Target Houthi Sites Across Four Yemeni Governorates

In a significant escalation of military operations, the United States conducted air raids early Thursday targeting Houthi-controlled sites across four Yemeni governorates. The strikes, part of an ongoing campaign, aimed to disrupt Houthi activities and diminish their operational capabilities.
The raids reportedly focused on strategic locations in the governorates of Sanaa, Saada, Amran, and Hodeidah. These areas have long been strongholds for the Houthi militia, which has been engaged in a protracted conflict in Yemen. According to local sources, the strikes targeted military installations, weapons depots, and communication hubs used by the Houthis.
The U.S. military's Central Command (CENTCOM) has stated that these operations are a response to the Houthis' recent attacks on international shipping routes and their continued aggression in the region. CENTCOM emphasized that the strikes were carefully planned to minimize civilian casualties while achieving their strategic objectives.
Initial reports indicate significant damage to Houthi infrastructure, though the extent of casualties remains unclear. Local media affiliated with the Houthis have claimed civilian casualties, but these reports have not been independently verified.
The raids come amid heightened tensions in the region, with the U.S. intensifying its military presence to counter threats posed by the Houthis and their alleged backers. The international community continues to call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, which has caused immense suffering for the Yemeni population.
