The Houthis say that the number of dead from the United States is rising to 53

Watch: The United States begins Yemen’s strikes

The Houthi Ministry of Health said that the number of strikes in Yemen has risen to 53, including five children.

The United States said it launched “decisive and strong” A wave of weather strikes On the Houthi targets on Saturday, President Donald Trump referred to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea as a reason.

Washington said that some of the main Houthi figures were among the dead, but the group did not confirm this.

Houthi leader Abdul -Malik Al -Houthi said that his gunmen will target American ships in the Red Sea as long as the United States continues its attacks on Yemen.

After updating the death number earlier, Houthi health spokesman, Anis, the Sehopia, posted that 53 people were killed, including “five children and a woman”, and that 98 people were injured.

“I was living in SANA for 10 years, and hearing the bombing throughout the war. By God, I have not tested anything like this before,” one of the father of two children, whose name gave Bassem Ahmed, told Agence France Presse.

The Houthis said that the fresh American strikes were launched on Sunday evening in the city of Hoda Port. The United States has not yet attached.

US National Security Adviser, Michael Waltz, told ABC News that on Saturday’s strikes “targeted and directed many Houthi leaders.”

He told Fox News: “We hit them with overwhelming force and put Iran in the event of notice that it is sufficient,” he told Fox News.

US Defense Secretary Beit Higseth pledged to a “non -softening” missile campaign until the Houthi attacks stopped.

“I want to be very clear, this campaign revolves around freedom of mobility and deterrence,” Higseth said in an interview with Fox.

The Houthis said that it would continue to target the shipping of the Red Sea until Israel raised its siege in Gaza, and that its forces would respond to the strikes.

The group of Iranian -backed rebels, whose enemy considers Israel, controls SANA and the northwest of Yemen, but it is not the country of the country known internationally.

The Houthis said they are acting to support the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and they often claimed that they are targeting ships associated with Israel, the United States or the United Kingdom.

Since November 2023, the Houthis have targeted dozens of commercial ships with missiles, drones and small boat attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. They drowned two ships, seized a third, and killed four crew members.

“We will use an enormous killer force until we achieved our goal,” Trump announced.

Trump said on social media: “With funding from Iran, the Houthi thugs fired the missiles on the American plane, targeting our forces and our allies,” adding that “their piracy, violence and terrorism” had commissioned “billions” and life disease.

In addressing the Houthis directly, Trump wrote that if they did not stop, “Hell will rain on you like anything you haven’t seen before.”

But the Houthis were fixed in their response, saying that the aggression would not reduce their support for the Palestinians.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragcha said that the US government “has no authority or business, dictates Iranian foreign policy.”

“The final support for Israeli genocide and terrorism,” was published on Sunday. “Stop killing the Yemeni people.”

The Houthi spokesman said on Sunday, without providing evidence, that the group targeted the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and her warship in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles and drones in response to American attacks.

But an American official told Reuters that US military aircraft shot down 11 drones on Sunday, none of them approached Truman.

On Sunday, UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres called for “the utmost restraint and stopping all military activities” in Yemen.
