Published March 16th, 2025 - 06:09 GMT The strikes, among the most intense since 2015, targeted both military positions and civilian areas, including the capital Sana'a, Sa'dah— the Houthis' stronghold— as well as Dhamar, Al-Jawf, Marib, Hajjah, Hodeida, and Al-Bayda, with over 40 airstrikes ALBAWABA- U.S. airstrikes on multiple Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen have killed at least 31 people and injured 101, with others still missing under the rubble, according to media affiliated with the Ansar Allah, Houthi group.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the strikes hit residential areas in Sana'a's Al-Jeraf district, where the headquarters of the Houthis' Political Council is located. The scale of destruction has drawn comparisons to the Saudi-led coalition's military campaign, which launched tens of thousands of airstrikes across Yemen starting in 2015. The U.S. operation was ordered by President Donald Trump, who announced on Truth Social that American forces are targeting Houthi bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect U.S. commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea. "Our brave warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks... No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the waterways of the world," Trump wrote. He also warned Iran against supporting the Houthis, vowing to hold Tehran "fully accountable." President Trump is taking action against the Houthis to defend US shipping assets and deter terrorist threats. For too long American economic & national threats have been under assault by the Houthis. Not under this presidency. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 15, 2025 The airstrikes come amid escalating tensions, with the Houthis imposing restrictions on Israeli-bound vessels in the Red Sea, citing support for Gaza amid Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid. Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdul Salam condemned the U.S. attack as an act of aggression, accusing Washington of waging war on behalf of Israel. Also Read Trump Signs Executive order to downsize US federal agencies Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of the Houthis' political council, vowed retaliation, stating, "The U.S. has started this war and should expect our response—without a doubt." The group has threatened to escalate military operations in the region in response to the strikes. Videos circulating on social media show massive explosions across multiple cities in Yemen, with reports indicating that the U.S. campaign may last for days or even weeks, depending on the Houthis' response, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Houthi Militants, Including Foreign Operatives, Killed in Blast During Maritime Attack Preparation
An explosion at a Houthi militia site in Yemen's Red Sea coast killed several militants, including senior leaders and foreign fighters—one identified as an Iraqi national—while injuring others during preparations for a maritime attack, sources confirmed on Wednesday. The blast occurred Tuesday evening in Hodeidah's Al-Kathib district, near a covert facility used by the Iran-aligned Houthi group to assemble naval mines and explosive-laden boats intended to target international shipping routes, according to local sources. Sources reported that a technical error during the handling of explosives triggered the detonation as militants readied a booby-trapped vessel and mine-equipped boats for deployment. The explosion killed multiple operatives instantly, with injured survivors rushed to Al-Thawra Hospital in Hodeidah. The incident followed the Houthi faction's defiant announcement earlier Tuesday resuming offensive operations in strategic waterways, including the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This escalation coincides with recent U.S. sanctions targeting top Houthi figures, such as Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the group's Political Council, and spokesperson Mohammed Abdul Salam, based in Oman. The U.S. Treasury's move comes months after designating the Houthis as a terrorist organization. Regional analysts assert that the militia's persistent aggression underscores its reliance on Iranian support and collaboration with foreign combat advisors from Iraq and Lebanon. 'This incident exposes the Houthis' reckless endangerment of regional stability and their disregard for diplomatic solutions,' said a Yemeni security official, speaking anonymously.
