Us Airstrike

A U.S. airstrike late Sunday (March 23) on a building in the Aser neighbourhood of Sanaa left at least one person dead and 13 others injured, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. Eyewitnesses claimed the casualties were passersby on the street, and the building itself was unoccupied at the time of the strike. The building was reduced to a mangled heap of shattered concrete and twisted metal, its floors pancaked and walls crumbled. Blankets, chunks of doors and windows, and other remnants of daily life were scattered across the jagged ruins.

The United States has vowed to continue its military strikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels until they halt attacks on international shipping. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the campaign aims to ensure freedom of navigation and restore deterrence. President Trump also warned the Houthis, threatening overwhelming force if their attacks do not cease. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for a missile and drone attack on the USS Harry S. Truman and other U.S. warships in the Red Sea, which was met with U.S. retaliation, including the downing of 11 drones. Meanwhile, Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi has promised further escalation if U.S. strikes persist. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, including 53 dead and 101 injured. The US military operation is the largest in the region since Trump’s presidency, and it may continue for weeks. The Houthis have also threatened further attacks on Israeli ships unless Gaza's aid blockade is lifted.
