Associated Press: The American operation against the Houthis during the Trump era is more comprehensive – the seventh day

The Associated Press reported that the new American operation against the “Houthi” group in Yemen during the era of President Donald Trump appears to be “more comprehensive” than those during the era of his predecessor Joe Biden.

The agency added that Washington has moved from targeting missile launch sites and drones only to targeting senior officials and dropping bombs in cities.

The Associated Press reported that the US military has transferred at least 4 long -term bombers to the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, while avoiding the use of the bases of its allies in the Middle East.

The agency explained that satellite photos showed a plane landing off the coast of Mayon Island in the center of Bab al -Mandab and it appears to be ready to receive the planes.

On Friday, the Central Command confirmed that its forces attacked Ansar Allah sites in Yemen, while the group’s media reported that the United States launched 72 raids on Sanaa and other Yemeni cities within 24 hours.

About two weeks ago, the United States has launched heavy air strikes against the Houthis to complement a campaign launched last year targeting the Yemeni group in response to its attacks on Israel and its ships in the Red Sea.

On March 15th, Washington announced a military operation against the Houthis to stop their attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, the vital marine corridor of global trade.

Washington reported that it had killed a number of senior Houthi officials, while the group announced that the American raids claimed the lives of dozens of civilians.

On March 15, US President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered his country’s army to launch a “major attack” against the Houthi group in Yemen, before he threatened to “completely eliminate the Houthis.”
