The US military has declined to disclose specific details about its airstrikes in Yemen, citing “operational security,” while noting that these strikes have had “lethal effects” on Houthi rebels. President Trump ordered intensified strikes against the Iran-backed Houthis, which have resulted in significant casualties, including a recent strike that reportedly killed 74 individuals. Rights advocates have raised concerns over civilian casualties, prompting inquiries from Democratic senators, as the military aims to diminish Houthi military and economic capacities while minimizing harm to civilians.
