The Houthi movement in Yemen has alleged that U.S. airstrikes targeted Kamaran Island, located off the western coast of Yemen in the Red Sea.

According to Houthi-affiliated sources, the strikes were part of a broader campaign by the United States to disrupt Houthi operations in the region. The island, which is under Houthi control, is strategically significant due to its proximity to vital maritime trade routes.

While the Houthis have not provided detailed information on casualties or damage, the incident underscores the escalating tensions between the U.S. and the Iran-backed group. The Red Sea has become a focal point for military operations, with the Houthis accused of targeting commercial vessels and threatening international navigation.

The U.S. has not yet commented on the alleged airstrikes.
