F/A-18E/F Super Hornet jets from the U.S. Navy, launched from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, carried out 12 airstrikes in Yemen. The strikes targeted the Harf Sufyan area in northern Amran Province and the Hezyaz power station in Sanaa, the country’s capital.
The operation aimed to weaken militant supply lines and critical infrastructure linked to Houthi rebel forces controlling much of the region. U.S. officials have emphasized the strategic nature of these strikes, aimed at bolstering regional stability and countering terrorist activities.
Initial reports indicate significant damage to key facilities, with concerns about potential civilian casualties. Humanitarian organizations are closely monitoring the situation, urging all sides to prioritize the protection of civilians amid Yemen’s ongoing crisis.
This escalation adds to the complexities of Yemen’s protracted conflict, drawing international calls for restraint and dialogue to avoid further destabilization. As the situation unfolds, global leaders are urging renewed efforts for peace and humanitarian relief in the war-torn country.
