On wednesday night, suspected US airstrikes targeted areas around Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeida, resulting in the deaths of at least 11 people and injuries to 16 others. The strikes reportedly hit residential neighborhoods, causing significant destruction and chaos. Footage aired by Houthi-linked media showed scenes of rescue efforts and ambulances rushing to aid the wounded1.

The airstrikes are part of an intensified campaign against Houthi forces, which have been accused of threatening maritime security in the region. The US military has not officially acknowledged the strikes, but the operation aligns with broader efforts to counter Houthi aggression1.

This escalation raises concerns about the humanitarian impact on civilians in conflict zones, as well as the potential for further destabilization in the region. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely.
