US aircraft launched a series of raids early Tuesday morning, totaling 22 strikes targeting various areas in the governorates of Sana'a, Ma'rib, and Hodeidah, according to media outlets affiliated with the Ansar Allah group (Houthis).
Al Masirah TV reported that 11 airstrikes targeted the Jarban area in Sanhan District and Al Jumaimah in Bani Hushaish District, northeast of Sana'a.
The channel added that US aircraft launched two raids on Kamaran Island in Al Hudaydah Governorate, western Yemen, and nine raids on Ma'rib Governorate, northeastern Yemen, including five raids on Majzar District, two raids on the Kofal area in Sirwah, and two raids on Al Juba District.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) broadcast footage on its X platform account of its fighter jets being armed aboard the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman to launch attacks on what it called the Iranian-backed Houthis.
For his part, US President Donald Trump said, "US forces have succeeded in launching powerful and effective military strikes against the Houthi group," adding that the United States has been resolute and successful in its operations.
During his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump explained that these operations had inflicted significant damage on the Houthis.
On March 15, Trump announced that he had ordered his country's military to launch a "major offensive" against the Houthi group, later threatening to "completely eliminate the Houthis."
In "solidarity with Gaza" in the face of Israeli genocide, the Houthis have been targeting Israeli-owned or -linked cargo ships in the Red Sea or anywhere they may reach with missiles and drones since November 2023.
