The United States launches its largest airstrike campaign against the Houthis in years.

Since mid-March, American airstrikes have intensified on Houthi sites in Yemen as part of an unprecedented campaign aimed at stopping their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, causing significant disruption in this vital passage. According to sources in the US Central Command, the strikes, exceeding 800 so far, have resulted in over 650 Houthi casualties and successfully destroyed many of their command and control facilities. The campaign, initiated by President Donald Trump, has been described as the largest of its kind compared to any similar operations during the previous administration of President Joe Biden. Washington has vowed to use "overwhelming force" until Houthi threats cease completely. Daily airstrikes began on March 15 and have continued at a high pace, with recent data showing an 87% decrease in Houthi missile attacks. While the US military has not disclosed many details about the operation, the announced numbers indicate over 750 sorties carried out since the start of the new campaign. White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt announced after two weeks of the operation's commencement that over 200 airstrikes had been executed, highlighting the momentum gained by the campaign later on. These developments come amidst ongoing military escalation and international warnings about the repercussions of the Yemen crisis on international navigation security.
