Suspected U.S. airstrikes struck Yemen's rebel-held capital overnight, resulting in at least one death and several injuries. The extent of the damage and casualties is still unclear. The new American operation under President Donald Trump appears to be more extensive than previous campaigns, targeting ranking personnel and dropping bombs in cities. The airstrikes were in response to the Houthis' threat to target 'Israeli' ships over aid blockage in the Gaza Strip. The attacks have raised the Houthis' profile amidst economic problems and a crackdown on dissent and aid workers.
