A Large-Scale Military Escalation in Yemen .. US Airstrikes Hit Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Marib
Sana'a _ The conflict in Yemen has intensified dramatically, with recent US airstrikes targeting key locations in Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Marib. These strikes are part of a renewed military campaign against the Houthi rebel group, which has been a central player in Yemen's prolonged conflict.
Reports indicate that the airstrikes have caused significant destruction and loss of life.
In Sana'a, residential areas were hit, leading to casualties among civilians. Similar devastation was reported in Hodeidah and Marib, where critical infrastructure and strategic sites were targeted.
The escalation follows threats by the Houthis to resume attacks on Red Sea shipping routes, citing grievances related to regional tensions. The US has justified its actions as a response to these threats and as part of broader efforts to counter the influence of Iran-backed groups in the region.
This military escalation has raised concerns about the humanitarian impact on Yemen's already vulnerable population. The country has been grappling with one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and further violence threatens to exacerbate the suffering of millions.
