Yemeni health officials say nine civilians killed in US bombardment, days after Houthis vowed to resume maritime attacks
United States President Donald Trump has announced a series of strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in the most significant military action of his second term to date.
At least nine civilians were killed and nine injured in the strikes in Sanaa on Saturday, according to Yemen’s Houthi-run Health Ministry.
“Your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don’t, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social, his social media site.
“I have ordered the US military today to launch a decisive and powerful military operation against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen,” Trump added.
“We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective,” he said in the post, accusing the Iran-aligned group of threatening Red Sea shipping.
