In a recent escalation of military operations, the United States launched airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas in Saada province, northern Yemen.

The strikes, reported by Houthi-affiliated media, come amidst heightened tensions in the region. Saada, a stronghold of the Houthi movement, has been a focal point of the ongoing conflict.

The airstrikes reportedly caused significant damage, with casualties including civilians. The Houthi-run Health Ministry claimed that dozens were killed and injured in the attacks.

The United States has stated that these operations aim to deter Houthi threats to international shipping routes in the Red Sea.

This development underscores the fragile state of peace in Yemen and raises concerns about the humanitarian impact of continued military actions in the region. The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for potential escalations.
