The U.S. military conducted fresh airstrikes in Yemen’s northern Saada province late Tuesday, per Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV. Targeting the Majz district, the attacks escalated regional tensions following a Houthi claim of launching a ‘Palestine-2’ hypersonic missile at an Israeli airbase. Israel countered, stating its air force intercepted the missile.
This comes as Washington intensifies strikes after President Trump vowed to “continue until Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping cease.” The Iran-aligned group, however, remains defiant, threatening to escalate “at its highest levels” unless Israel halts its renewed assault on Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Tuesday airstrikes on Gaza killed over 400 people, shattering a fragile ceasefire. The violence has drawn global condemnation, with Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi promising retaliation: “We will do everything we can against Israel.”
Casualties from the latest U.S. strikes remain unconfirmed, with no official U.S. response yet. The conflict’s ripple effects? A Red Sea security crisis and growing fears of a broader regional war. 🚨
