The United States has intensified its military campaign in Yemen, launching a new wave of air strikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas. 

The strikes, which began over the weekend, have reportedly resulted in significant casualties, including women and children, according to Houthi-run health authorities. At least 53 people have been killed, and nearly 100 others injured in the attacks.

The U.S. operation, described as one of the largest in the region in recent years, aims to counter the Houthis' threats to international shipping in the Red Sea. 

The strikes targeted key locations, including the port city of Hodeidah and areas in Al Jawf governorate. U.S. officials have stated that the campaign may continue for weeks as part of broader efforts to ensure maritime security and deter further aggression.

Houthi leaders have condemned the strikes, labeling them as "war crimes," and have vowed retaliation against U.S. interests in the region. 

The group has also claimed to have launched attacks on U.S. naval assets, although these claims remain unverified.

The situation has drawn international attention, with calls for restraint and dialogue to prevent further escalation. 

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen continues to worsen, with millions of civilians caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict.
