Death toll from US strikes on Yemen rises to 53, Houthis say
The Houthi rebels’ health ministry said the death toll from our strike against Yemen has risen to 53 children, including five.
The United States says it launches “decisive and powerful” wave President Donald Trump made a reason for the Houthi attack on the Red Sea on Saturday.
Washington said some important figures in Houthi have died, but the organization has not confirmed that.
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said that as long as the United States continues to attack Yemen, his militants will target our ships in the Red Sea.
Houthi Ministry of Health spokesman Anis al-Asbahi posted an updated death toll on X, 53 people killed, including “five children and two women” and 98 injured.
A father of two named Ehad News after Ahmed: “I lived in Sanaa for 10 years and heard shelling throughout the war. God, I have never experienced anything like this before.”
Hushis also said there was a new U.S. strike against Al Jaouf and Hudaydah earlier on Monday. The United States has not yet commented.
National Security Advisor Michael Waltz told ABC News that Saturday’s strike “targets multiple Houthi leaders and takes them out.”
“We just hit them with overwhelming force and noticed that enough is enough,” he told Fox News.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth vowed to “ruthless” missile movement until Houthi attacks ceased.
“I want to be very clear that the sport is about freedom of navigation and the freedom to restore deterrence,” Hegseth said in a televised Fox Business interview.
Hussis said it will continue to target Red Sea transportation until Israel lifts its blockade on Gaza and its troops will respond to the strike.
Iran-backed rebel groups believe that Israel’s enemies control Sanaa and northwestern Yemen, but are not the country’s internationally recognized government.
Houthis said they supported the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas and claimed – often wrongly targeting ships related to Israel, the United States or Britain.
Since November 2023, Houthis will be hit by dozens of merchant ships, drones and small ships in the Red Sea and the Aden of Aden. They sank two ships, grabbed the third ship, and killed four crew members.
EPA“We will use overwhelming lethal force until we achieve our goal,” Trump said in announcing Saturday’s strike.
“Funded by Iran, Houthi thugs fired missiles at U.S. aircraft and targeted our troops and allies,” Trump said on social media.
When Trump speaks directly to the Houthis, if they don’t stop, “hell will get nothing like the one I’ve seen before.”
But Hushis is unwavering in his response, saying that aggression will not reduce their support for the Palestinians.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the U.S. government “has no authority or business to demand Iran’s foreign policy.”
“Ultimate support for Israeli genocide and terrorism,” he posted on X on Sunday. “Stop killing Yemenis.”
The Houthi claimed to be against American Airlines Harry S.
But a U.S. official told Reuters news agency that U.S. fighter jets shot down 11 Houthi drones on Sunday, none of them approached Truman. The United States has not responded to a second strike claim.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Yemen to “maximum restraint and cessation of all military activities.”
