Trump announces launch of US strikes on Yemen
In a statement on his platform Truth Social, the US president says the military has launched a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis in Yemen. “They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other ships, aircraft, and drones,” Trump said. He said Houthi rebels have been targeting US ships, aircraft, troops and allies. “The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated,” the president also said. “We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective,” Trump added. His post comes moments after Houthi-linked media outlets in Yemen announced strikes carried out by the US, without giving details. Houthis said that they will attack any Israeli ship that violates the group’s ban on Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden. The leader of Yemen’s Houthis said that the group was resuming its naval operations against Israel as the country did not lift a blockage of aid into Gaza within a four-day deadline set by the group.
