Houthi faction alleges eight airstrikes by American forces struck northern Yemen region
Rewritten Article:
The Houthi group in Yemen declared yesterday that the US conducted eight air raids across the northern provinces of Sanaa and Al-Jawf, as constant turmoil persists. According to Anadolu's report, the alleged strikes hit Bani Hashish in Sanaa province and Khab wa Ash Sha'af in Al-Jawf province, though specifics on casualties and damage are scarce. The US hasn’t given official statements regarding these claims thus far.
A related occurrence involved Israel's military, which declared over the weekend that it had intercepted a missile originating from Yemen, following two similar instances on the previous day.
In unrelated news, the UN expressed sadness with the US air strike on an African migrants facility in Yemen.
On the same day, the Houthi group claimed responsibility for a missile attack on a central Israeli military target using a supposedly new hypersonic ballistic missile. The group stated that Israeli missile defense systems failed to intercept the projectile, indicating another fluid situation between the two nations.
The escalating US-Yemen relations largely stem from the US military campaign against the Houthi rebel movement and continued Houthi attacks on the Red Sea. Started at the end of 2023, this campaign intensified in March 2025 with Operation Rough Rider, resulting in over 1,000 US airstrikes and numerous civilian casualties without effectively halting Houthi military activities.
Although President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire and US air strike halt in mid-May 2025, tension remains high as the Houthis capitalize on the ceasefire as a victory and continue threatening regional security. As a result, US and allied maritime interests remain under threat while the broader Yemen conflict remains unresolved.
