Houthi Leaders Eliminated as U.S. Airstrikes Intensify in Yemen President Donald Trump announced that multiple senior Houthi leaders and militants have been killed in a series of U.S. airstrikes targeting rebel-held regions in Yemen. The president shared this update on Truth Social, emphasizing that military action will persist until all threats to U.S. interests are eradicated. Trump stated that the “Iran-backed Houthi militants” have suffered substantial losses over the last two weeks due to relentless U.S. operations. “Many of their fighters and leaders are no longer with us. We are striking them day and night—escalating the intensity,” Trump wrote. The president further stressed that Houthi capabilities, particularly those endangering global shipping and regional stability, are being systematically dismantled. “Our operations will continue until they no longer pose a risk to freedom of navigation. The Houthis have a choice: cease targeting U.S. vessels, and we will halt our attacks. Otherwise, we are only getting started, and the real consequences are yet to unfold for both the Houthis and their Iranian sponsors,” he warned. The latest round of airstrikes, conducted on Monday, specifically targeted Houthi positions in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, where the rebel faction has maintained control since 2014. Reports indicate that at least three individuals were killed, and 12 others sustained injuries during the operation. These strikes follow another wave of air assaults launched on Friday as part of the broader U.S. military campaign that commenced on March 15. The ongoing offensive aims to neutralize Houthi forces, ensuring regional security and safeguarding vital international trade routes.

WHO Chief Tedros narrowly escapes death in Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa Airport. Learn about the humanitarian impact and his mission to the war-torn country. WHO Chief Narrowly Survives Israeli Strikes on Yemen’s Sanaa Airport The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, narrowly avoided death during Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Thursday. Speaking to BBC Radio, Tedros recounted the chaotic events and underscored the importance of respecting international laws protecting civilian infrastructure. Chaotic Scene During the Strikes Tedros described the terrifying moments when explosions occurred as he prepared to board a flight. The strikes targeted the departure lounge and control tower, leaving the area in complete disarray. “We heard a heavy explosion nearby,” Tedros said. “The sound was so loud, so deafening. My ears are still ringing more than 24 hours later. It’s by sheer luck we survived—if the missile deviated slightly, it could have been catastrophic.” The strikes left four people dead and 20 injured, according to Houthi officials. Civilians scattered in panic as there was no immediate shelter, further emphasizing the vulnerability of those present. Mission to Yemen Amid Conflict Tedros was in Yemen on a mission from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to address the humanitarian crisis and advocate for the release of detained UN staff. He stressed that the Sanaa airport, a civilian facility serving humanitarian purposes, should not have been targeted. “Civilian installations are protected under international law,” Tedros emphasized. “Whether I was there or not is irrelevant. These laws must be respected to safeguard lives.” Israel’s Response and Background Israel confirmed the strikes, labeling them as targeting Houthi military installations following missile attacks launched toward Israel. This marks the second such strike in Yemen since December 19. However, Tedros pointed out that the airport was full of civilians and civilian aircraft at the time of the attack. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Tedros shared videos from the incident, expressing gratitude to airport staff and colleagues who shielded him during the chaos. He and his team later flew to safety in Jordan. “My heart goes out to those who face such dangers daily—colleagues on the front lines and innocent civilians,” he wrote.
