00:00The United States carried out new airstrikes on Yemen on Monday, after both the Trump administration
00:07and the Iran-backed Houthis vowed escalation over the weekend.
00:13The Houthi-run Health Ministry said that at least 53 people have been killed since the
00:17U.S. began its new wave of strikes against the rebel group on Saturday, including five
00:22children and two women.
00:25The Houthis retaliated on Sunday with attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier
00:30and its accompanying warships.
00:34The U.S. said its strikes aimed to deter the rebels from attacking military and commercial
00:38vessels in the Red Sea.
00:41The Houthis said last week they would resume targeting Israeli vessels after Israel cut
00:46off humanitarian aid to Gaza this month.
00:49The U.S. airstrikes were among the most extensive attacks against the Houthis since the war
00:54in Gaza began in October of 2023.
