The group, backed by Iran, vowed to retaliate. “Support for Gaza continues, the response is coming, and Netanyahu must prepare his resignation,” said senior Houthi political figure Mohammed Ali al-Houthi on a Houthi-linked TV channel, denouncing the strikes as “failed terrorism”

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed that Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon jets, operating in coordination with the United States military, struck a "cluster of buildings" believed to be used by the Iran-backed Houthi group to produce attack drones

The US military has yet to comment on the incident, but it follows a series of airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas since March 15, when US President Donald Trump ordered the escalation of airstrikes on the group

According to a statement from the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the strike aimed to “degrade the Houthis’ ability to fund and execute attacks” on commercial shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden

The strikes, which targeted multiple locations across Yemen on Saturday, were described by Washington as a "decisive and powerful" response to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea

Yemen’s humanitarian crisis has reached a new level of severity as aid workers face increasing threats, detentions, and restrictions from the Houthi authorities, creating fears of an impending collapse in lifesaving assistance

According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the strike targeted a site used by the Houthi rebels as a key hub for coordinating attacks on American naval vessels and merchant ships operating in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden

This latest missile launch comes amid growing tensions between Israel and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, whose long-range drone attacks and missile strikes have targeted Israeli cities in recent months

Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil exporter, has been increasingly concerned about Houthi missile attacks in the Red Sea, which have threatened shipping lanes crucial to global oil supply

The Greek-owned oil tanker MV Sounion, which was attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea last week, remains engulfed in flames and may be leaking oil, according to a statement from the US Pentagon

The sellers, operating under the shadow of the Houthis—a rebel group backed by Iran and deemed a terrorist organization by the US and Australian governments—are using X's wide reach to target Yemeni customers in a nation where firearms are reportedly more numerous than the population itself

According to Mohamed al-Naqib, a spokesperson for the Southern Transitional Council (STC), the bomber targeted a security forces' site, causing significant casualties and damage
