US president warns Houthis ‘hell will rain down’ if Red Sea attacks continue
Following US strikes that killed 31 people, Yemen's Houthis declared they are "prepared to respond to escalation." The US strikes, the largest military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office, targeted the Houthis due to their Red Sea shipping attacks. Trump warned the Houthis and Iran, while Iran stated the Houthis make their own decisions. Russia called for a halt to the strikes, while the Houthis described the attacks as a war crime. The strikes targeted Houthi military sites and a power station, with most of the confirmed deaths being women and children.
