The United States has carried out a large-scale airstrike targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen. It killed 24 people.
The attack was carried out on Saturday (March 15) at the direction of US President Donald Trump. The US took this step after the Houthi rebels resumed attacks on ships in the Red Sea in the past few days. Reuters reports.
This is the largest US military operation against the Houthis since Trump took office. The attack began at a time when Washington is trying to force Tehran to negotiate over its nuclear program by increasing sanctions.
Trump called the Houthis terrorists on his own social media, Truth Social, and said, "Your time is up, you must stop the attacks from today. If you do not do this, you will receive hell rain like you have never seen before."
The Houthi-run Health Ministry said that 13 civilians were killed in the US attack in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. In addition, 9 more were injured. In addition, 11 people, including children and women, were killed in the US attack in the northern Yemeni state of Saad. Another 14 people were injured, the Houthi-run Al-Marishah television reported.
The Houthi political bureau described the US attack as a "war crime". In a statement, the Houthi said that our Yemeni armed forces are fully prepared to respond to provocations.
Abdullah Yahya, a resident, told Reuters that there was a terrible explosion. The attack shook the entire neighborhood like an earthquake. Our women and children are terrified.
