The recent surge in US airstrikes near Yemen's capital has resulted in significant casualties, with at least six killed and 26 injured according to Houthi reports. This escalation comes amidst heightened tensions as the Houthis threaten attacks on shipping in the Middle East, particularly targeting what they define as 'Israeli' vessels. The airstrikes, conducted with White House approval, have reportedly resulted in over 200 operations since mid-March, further complicating the humanitarian crisis and international relations in the region with allegations of Iranian support to the Houthis.
At least six people were killed and 26 injured overnight by suspected US airstrikes near Yemen's rebel-held capital, the Houthis said Monday.
Washington launched its new campaign of airstrikes in mid-March after the rebels threatened to begin targeting "Israeli" ships again.
The Houthis have so far attacked more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles, drones and speedboat incursions.
The US accuses Iran of arming the rebels, which the regime in Tehran denies.
