The United States has ramped up airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen, targeting key infrastructure such as oil ports. The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, have launched hundreds of missile attacks and blockades on ships in the Red Sea since the outbreak of the Gaza war, claiming their actions are in support of Palestinians. Recent U.S. strikes have resulted in significant casualties, with Houthi sources reporting at least 38 killed and over 100 wounded in the deadliest attack so far. Video footage from Houthi media shows extensive damage and fires at a targeted port. The ongoing conflict threatens vital global trade routes and risks further regional escalation.
