The channel did not provide further details on the results of the bombing, and there was no immediate American comment. Kamaran is the largest Yemeni island in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-1 grow basis-auto flex-col overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"relative h-full\">\n<div class=\"flex h-full flex-col overflow-y-auto [scrollbar-gutter:stable]\">\n<div class=\"@thread-xl\/thread:pt-header-height mt-1.5 flex flex-col text-sm md:pb-9\">\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-28\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 px-6\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto flex flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn @xs\/thread:px-0 @sm\/thread:px-1.5 @md\/thread:px-4\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"2d8ecf67-e261-43dc-80fa-0d7168f8ac98\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"1006\">On Friday evening, former U.S. President Donald Trump posted a video on his X account showing one of the recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi fighters. Trump commented on the video, saying:<br data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"848\" \/>\u201cThese Houthis gathered to receive instructions for an attack\u2026 Sorry, there will be no attacks from these Houthis. They won\u2019t be sinking our ships again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1462\">On March 15, the Trump administration launched its military campaign against Yemen, conducting airstrikes targeting provinces under the control of the Houthis. The American assault came just four days after the group announced the resumption of military operations in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. This followed the expiration of a deadline set by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi for mediators to convince Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15222\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15222 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"American warplanes hit water infrastructure in Al-Hudaydah,\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/4555555.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Since March 15, U.S. airstrikes in Yemen have killed 61 civilians and wounded 139, including attacks on water infrastructure in Al-Hudaydah.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"97\"><strong data-start=\"19\" data-end=\"97\">Operation Rough Rider: U.S. Expands Strikes Across Houthi-Controlled Yemen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1974\">The U.S. air campaign\u2014named &#8220;Operation Rough Rider&#8221; by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth\u2014was a direct response to President Trump\u2019s policy stance just two days after taking office on January 20. That policy designated the Houthis as a \u201cglobal terrorist organization.\u201d The Trump administration outlined two objectives for the strikes on Yemen: restoring freedom of navigation and reasserting American deterrence, with Hegseth emphasizing that \u201cwe have no involvement in Yemen\u2019s civil conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2353\">In terms of scale, nature, targets, and intensity, the current U.S. strikes exceed those carried out under the previous Biden administration, which had launched limited attacks as part of an international coalition starting early last year. The current campaign focuses on two main fronts: destroying the Houthis\u2019 military infrastructure and targeting their leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2490\">Most U.S. airstrikes so far have concentrated on three key provinces critical to the Houthis politically, militarily, and economically:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"2653\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"2527\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2493\" data-end=\"2527\">Sanaa (the political capital),<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2528\" data-end=\"2583\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"2583\">Saada in the north (the group\u2019s main stronghold),<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2584\" data-end=\"2653\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2586\" data-end=\"2653\">and Al-Hudaydah on the western coast (their economic lifeline).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2655\" data-end=\"2868\">Other provinces targeted include Amran, Dhamar, Hajjah, Taiz, Ibb, Marib, Al-Jawf, and Al-Bayda, meaning the U.S. strikes have covered nearly the entire Houthi-controlled geography.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2870\" data-end=\"3220\">Since November 2023, the Houthi movement has launched ballistic missiles, drone strikes, and naval operations against Israeli, American, and British vessels in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea.
