The United States has conducted over 800 airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels since March 15, claiming to target military sites and reduce missile launches.
Recent strikes reportedly killed at least eight people in Yemen's capital and, according to Houthi sources, hit a migrant detention center in Saada, resulting in dozens of deaths, including African migrants. The US military acknowledges hundreds of Houthi fighters have been killed but is limiting disclosure of operational details. The campaign, costing over $1 billion, aims to restore freedom of navigation and deter Houthi attacks, but has drawn criticism for civilian casualties.
The situation highlights escalating tensions and humanitarian concerns in the region.
