US strike on Houthis: Pentagon warns ‘attack will be unrelenting’, Yemen rebels vow escalation - Latest updates

By Explorer -

The US military will continue to strike on Yemen's Houthi militants until they stop targeting ships in the Red Sea, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said, only a day after President Donald Trump ordered new operations in the Middle East. Catch the latest updates here:

  • “This campaign is about freedom of navigation and restoring deterrence. The minute the Houthis say, ‘We’ll stop shooting at your ships, we’ll stop shooting at your drones,’ this campaign will end,” Hegseth said in an interview on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures. “But until then, it will be unrelenting.”
  • Hegseth said the latest strikes were also a warning to Iran, which backs the Houthis. “Iran has been enabling the Houthis for far too long. They better back off,” he said.
  • On Saturday, 31 people were killed and at least 191 injured in US strikes on Sana’a, Saada and Albaydha provinces. Most of the casualties were women and children. Speaking about the attack Trump said he ordered “decisive and powerful” action against the Houthis.
  • On Truth Social, he accused the group of choking off shipping in a key global waterway, halting vast trade flows. He warned that attacks on U.S. vessels “will not be tolerated.”
  • Respoding to it, Yemen's Houthi militants said it will target the US ships in the Red Sea as long as the US continues its attacks on Yemen. The group's leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on Sunday, “If they continue their aggression, we will continue the escalation.”

  • The Houthis began their attacks shortly after Hamas’s October 7 incursion into Israel sparked war in the Middle East. The Houthis have repeatedly said their missile and drone strikes in the Red Sea, and against Israel, were in solidarity with the Palestinians over the war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. The Yemeni group has previously said it would stop their attacks when Israel stopped its war

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined. The Spanish inquisition ( Tri...

By terrorism watch -
Kabul: Five members of the US-led international military coalition were killed on Saturday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, the latest deadly attack against foreign troops since the Taliban announced the start of their spring offensive this week. The renewed violence came as Afghan President Hamid Karzai acknowledged that his government has been receiving funds from CIA for more than a decade as part of regular monthly assistance from the US government. Karzai told reporters at a news conference that the CIA's station chief in Kabul has assured him that regular funding the US intelligence agency gives his government will not be cut off. Karzai had earlier confirmed that his government had received such payments following a story published in The New York Times that said the CIA had given the Afghan National Security Council tens of millions of dollars in monthly payments delivered in suitcases, backpacks and plastic shopping bags. "The help and assistance f...
