Suspected US airstrikes in Yemen kill at least 4 people near Hodeida, Houthi rebels say

The campaign appears to show no signs of stopping as the Trump administration again linked their airstrikes on the Iranian-backed Houthis to an effort to pressure Iran over its rapidly advancing nuclear program. While so far giving no specifics about the campaign and its targets, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt put the overall number of strikes on Tuesday at over 200.
«Iran is incredibly weakened as a result of these attacks and we have seen they have taken out Houthi leaders,» Leavitt said. «They've taken out critical members who were launching strikes on naval ships and on commercial vessels and this operation will not stop until the freedom of navigation in this region is restored.»
The Houthis have not acknowledged the loss of any of its leadership so far — and the US has not identified any official by name. However, messages released by the leak of a Signal conversation between Trump administration officials and their public comments suggest a leader in the rebels' missile forces had been targeted.
