US EditionYemen’s Houthi rebels claim they shot down another American drone as US strikes pound country
- On March 15, 2025, a new campaign of intense airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen began, led by the U.S. Military.
- These airstrikes were initiated after the Houthis threatened to target Israeli ships in response to Israel blocking aid entering the Gaza Strip, escalating an already stalemated decadelong war in Yemen, the Arab world's poorest nation.
- The U.S. Airstrikes, described by President Trump as having "decimated" the Houthis, have targeted launch sites, ranking personnel, and cities, while the Houthis claimed to have shot down another American MQ-9 Reaper drone over Marib governorate using a locally manufactured missile.
- The Houthis, backed by Iran, have targeted over 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones between November 2023 and January 2024, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, while Iran denies arming the rebels despite evidence of Tehran-manufactured weaponry found on the battlefield and in sea shipments.
- Despite the U.S. Military's ongoing precision strikes aimed at restoring freedom of navigation and Trump's warning of escalating consequences until the Houthi threat to global shipping is neutralized, the Houthis assert they will continue targeting enemy warships and preventing Israeli navigation in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, suggesting the conflict is likely to persist and potentially escalate tensions with Iran.
