Houthis Threaten Retaliation After U.S. Strikes in Yemen

The Iran-backed Houthi militia vows revenge following U.S. military actions that reportedly killed at least 31 civilians, including women and children.


The Houthi militia in Yemen has pledged to take retaliatory actions against the United States after a series of airstrikes ordered by President Trump on Houthi-controlled regions, which they claim resulted in significant civilian casualties. The U.S. strikes on Saturday, marking a notable escalation in military involvement since Trump’s administration began, are said to have killed at least 31 individuals, with an alarming number being women and children.

For over a year, the Houthis have conducted attacks targeting Israel and threatening maritime vessels in the Red Sea as a show of support for Hamas since the outbreak of the current conflict in Gaza, which escalated following the October 7 attacks on Israel. The U.S. strikes affected multiple locations in Yemen, including the capital, Sana, and several provinces. The Houthi media claimed that the strikes resulted in 101 injuries, insisting that the majority of the victims were non-combatants.

While these casualty figures remain unverified by independent sources, U.S. officials have not disclosed specific numbers regarding the casualties. The U.S. Central Command reported that the precision strikes aimed to uphold American interests, deter aggressors, and ensure freedom of navigation in the region.
