US Air Strikes Intensify Against Houthi Targets in Yemen Amid Rising Tensions
Recent airstrikes have resulted in casualties, with ongoing military operations against Houthi-held areas escalating in response to regional conflicts.
On March 26, 2025, multiple airstrikes conducted by the United States targeted Houthi positions in and around Sanaa, the capital of Yemen.
Reports indicate that at least two individuals were killed, and two others sustained injuries as a result of four separate attacks concentrated in the Khawlan district, situated to the east of the city.
Local media outlets reported that the strikes included three hits in the Jarban area of the Sanhan District, two in the Al-Jumaymah area of the Bani Hashish District, and additional assaults on the Al-Dailami Air Base, which is located north of Sanaa.
Since the beginning of intensified operations, US military forces are reported to have carried out approximately 100 airstrikes against various Houthi targets, resulting in numerous casualties, including women and children.
The airstrike campaign coincides with escalating tensions between the United States and the Houthi group, also known as Ansar Allah, particularly following the group's announcement of renewed attacks on Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea.
This escalation came after the collapse of a ceasefire deal related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In response to US military actions, the Houthis declared that they would not only resume targeting maritime assets but also issued threats against US naval vessels, specifically naming the USS Harry S. Truman.
The US strikes appear to be a retaliatory measure in light of this declaration, aiming to counter the Houthi's threats and assert military presence in the region.
These developments unfold against a backdrop of worsening humanitarian conditions in Yemen, with the ongoing conflict severely impacting civilian populations.
The international community continues to monitor the situation as hostilities intensify and calls for a de-escalation remain urgent.
