The United States has carried out new airstrikes on Yemen in response to threats from the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The strikes targeted the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah and Al Jawf governorate. At least 53 people have been killed in the attacks, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. The Houthis have been launching attacks on ships off the coast of Yemen since November 2023, disrupting global commerce. The U.S. and its allies see these attacks as a menace to global trade, while the Houthis claim they are in solidarity with Palestinians as Israel strikes Gaza.
