At least 53 people, including 5 women and 2 children, were killed in overnight US strikes on Yemen’s Houthis, the rebel-run Health Ministry said. Over 100 others were wounded as President Donald Trump vowed to use "overwhelming lethal force" against the Iran-backed group for attacking Red Sea ships in "solidarity" with Gaza. US airstrikes hit multiple targets, including Yemen’s capital Sanaa, triggering the Houthis’ vow to escalate. This marks one of the deadliest assaults on the group since the Gaza war began in October 2023, intensifying regional tensions.
