Yemen’s Houthis have claimed to have shot down a US drone carrying out an attack on the northwestern Hajjah governorate while also reporting that the US launched air strikes on multiple locations across the country. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree stated that this is the seventh US drone shot down by the group this month and the 22nd since Israel’s war on Gaza began. Al Masirah, a Houthi-affiliated outlet, reported that US strikes targeted Kamran Island in the Red Sea, Al Salif district in western Yemen, and Al-Saleem district in Saada province. The US has been conducting daily air attacks in Yemen, resulting in the deaths of over 200 people, including women and children. The Trump administration has indicated that the military campaign will continue until the Houthis cease attacks on vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthis maintain that they are targeting ships in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and will stop when Israel ends its war on the enclave. These recent events follow a deadly US airstrike in Yemen’s capital Sanaa and numerous attacks on Hodeidah’s port and airport. The Houthis have reportedly launched over 100 attacks on vessels linked to Israel in response to the conflict in Gaza, impacting global shipping traffic through the Suez Canal. Companies have had to take alternative routes around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa due to the disruption in maritime routes.
