The US launched eight airstrikes on the outskirts of the northern Yemeni city of Saada and hit other sites in the Saada province on Monday night, “severely” injuring at least two people, Yemen’s SABA news agency has reported.
The strikes came a day after the US bombed a residential area of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, killing at least one person and wounding 13 others, according to Yemen’s Health Ministry.
Since unleashing massive airstrikes on Yemen on March 15, the US has continued daily bombings, and the Houthis have launched attacks against US warships and fired multiple missiles at Israel.
The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, fired another missile at Israel on Monday, marking the sixth such attack within the past week. Israeli media reported the missile was intercepted, and shrapnel landed in the city of Beith Shemesh. No casualties were reported.
According to the Israeli news site Ynet, the US has asked Israel not to respond to the Houthis attacks and said that US forces will handle the retaliation. The Houthis have shown no sign of backing down in the face of US airstrikes, and their message has been that they will meet “escalation with escalation.”
The Houthis have maintained the only way to stop their attacks now would be a real ceasefire in Gaza and a lifting of Israel’s blockade.
The US began bombing Yemen again after the Houthis announced they would start targeting Israeli shipping again after Israel imposed a total blockade on food, fuel, and all other goods entering Gaza, a major violation of the ceasefire deal it signed in January.
The Houthis began launching missiles at Israeli territory in response to Israel restarting its genocidal war and unleashing massive airstrikes on Gaza.
The Houthis have controlled the Yemeni capital of Sanaa since 2014 and govern an area where 80% of Yemen’s population lives. A brutal US-backed Saudi-led war on Yemen failed to remove the Houthis from power, and it involved a blockade, an air campaign, and a ground campaign. Despite the group’s resilience, President Trump is threatening them with “annihilation.”
"According to the Israeli news site Ynet, the US has asked Israel not to respond to the Houthis attacks and said that US forces will handle the retaliation."
But first, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will blab it all over the place so the Houthis will know it's coming and be ready for it. One too many, Pete?
Funny how stupid and evil stuff always happens with Hegseth, yet none of it is ever his fault.
”No woman, no cry! No woman, no cry!”
Another coward act of blind targeting… as US intelligence on Houthis missile locations are very limited so they lean on false intelligence which are usually the civilian housings…!
Biden to press… It's Not Working folks…!

Rumble does not work here. But I will watch it later on YouTube. Watch "Due dissidence" all the time anyway.
“Rumble does not work here.”
Where is here? Does a VPN not solve any blocking problems?
I probably worded it wrong. What I meant is that the suggestion to see it on Rumbel did not work for me by cliquing on "Existential Dread's" recommendation. Saw it on YouTube.
It might also be on youtube. I’ll check.

The words are more powerful than bullets…!
It was, I watched it this afetrnoon.
Comes with filming of the attack.
Arguably the USS Harry Truman was this time hit by Yemeni missiles and is in retreat. If true (and I believe it) it'd be the fourth US aircraft carrier damaged and forced to retreat by Yemen in about a year. At this rhythm, the USA may run out of operative aircraft carriers in a matter of months…
The USA is sending another fleet from the Far East, led by the aircraft carrier USS
Homer Simpson, erm, Carl Vinson. However the title of this notice (in Spanish) may already be obsolete, as it translates as "there will be two US aircraft carriers in the Red Sea in order to intimidate Iran". There will be only one and who knows for how long…Pentagon keeps its aircraft carriers north of Red Sea because they know Houthis may sink one with their surface and underwater drones if they park them close to Yemen…!
But they have to get close to be able to operate; those airplanes have only so much autonomy. Remember when France sent their only aircraft carrier to Benin or Nigeria to threaten Niger? I was rolling all over the ground laughing after I looked at the autonomy of the carried airplanes. Of course it was a total fiasco: France had to pull out and recognize the Junta (and soon after them the USA was also expelled). Same here: when they are in the northern reaches of the Red Sea they can’t bomb Yemen, they have to get close and thus get vulnerable to Yemeni rockets and drones.
For Yemen bombing they usually use their bases close by such as the ones in Saudi Arabia and possibly Djibouti…!
Gulf bases are too far away and Djibouti is just a “coal station” (a logistic base, not a true military base, much less one with air capabilities). For security reasons the USA is actually using Saudi ports at Jeddah instead: Dijbouti is within Yemeni missile range.. They could carpet-bomb with old stratobombers (B52 if my memory is not deciving me) deployed at Amed (Dijarbakir) and Bahrein (?) but they are not doing that either (those were meant to send a signal to Iran rather: nuclear bombing signal it seems).
Saudi Arabia doesn’t seem willing to reignite the Yemeni war (they would risk their oil industry altogether, probably a revolution even) nor give the USA any new military bases (which would have to be built anyhow) near the holy cities of Medina and Mecca (heresy for the Wahabbis and probably all Muslims). The USA can’t rely on Israel either because all they have there is some AA batteries and their ports are bad and under constant Yemeni threat, so their real operational bases are in Cyprus (British mega-bases, a true colonial insult to Cypriot sovereignty) and Italy, then Spain (but Italy is much closer), these last are all nominally “NATO bases” not privative of the USA and they are too distant to bomb Yemen anyhow with anything but stratobombers, which are not being used.
Can you point the rest of us to any actual evidence of these alleged successful attacks on US carriers?
The first strikes were announced by Hegseth as "pinpoint" and political but of course they killed women and children.
This is interesting:
