Cairo: At least 53 people have died and about 100 people have been injured in US air strikes targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen. This information has been given by the Health Ministry run by the Houthi rebels. After these attacks by America, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have also threatened attacks, which is likely to increase tension in Yemen.
Trump gave the order
The Health Ministry run by the Houthi rebels said that at least 53 people, including 5 women and 2 children, have been killed in the US attacks, about 100 people have been injured in other provinces including the capital Sanaa and Saada, the stronghold of the rebels on the border with Saudi Arabia. US President Donald Trump had ordered a series of air strikes on areas occupied by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Attacks will be carried out with full force
Trump had warned that Iran-backed Houthi rebels will continue to attack with ‘full force’ until they stop their attacks on cargo ships passing through the important sea corridor. Trump had said in a post on social media, “Our brave soldiers are carrying out air strikes on terrorist bases, their masters and missile defense systems to protect American waterways, air and naval assets, and restore freedom of navigation.” He had said, “No terrorist force will be able to stop American commercial and naval ships from moving freely on the world’s waterways.”
Trump warned Iran
Trump also warned Iran to stop supporting the rebel organization, otherwise it will be held ‘fully accountable’ for its actions. Houthi rebels reported airstrikes in Hodeida, Bayda and Marib provinces early Sunday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told CBS TV channel, “We will not let these people control which ships can pass and which cannot.” Rubio said that some centers of Houthi rebels have been destroyed.
Will respond to America
Rebel leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned, “We will respond to the escalation of tension by escalating tension.” Al-Houthi said, “We will respond to the American enemy with attacks, missile attacks and by targeting its aircraft carriers, its warships.” Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office, said that airstrikes will not stop them and they will retaliate against America. Mohammed Abdul Salam, another rebel spokesman, in a post on ‘X’ called Trump’s claim that the Houthis pose a threat to international waterways as ‘false and misleading’.
