The United States today carried out extensive airstrikes against Houthi targets across Yemen. US aircraft reportedly struck more than 50 Houthi sites across multiple provinces in the north, centre and west of Yemen. According to media reports, the Houthis did not disclose the number of casualties as a result of the US airstrikes.

The group said it will continue to attack vessels with links to Israel or the United States. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported last night that a vessel approximately 100 nautical miles east of Aden was pursued by armed individuals in multiple small craft for about two hours, with shots fired during the encounter.

This marks the first such incident reported by UKMTO in the area in several months. Earlier on Sunday, the Houthi group announced that it had shot down another US MQ-9 drone, the 19th it has downed since November 2023.
