ALBAWABA- U.S. airstrikes have intensified across Yemen, targeting Houthi-held areas and escalating the ongoing conflict. 

 American aircraft launched a new wave of raids on Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, west of Yemen, and on Al-Zaher District in Al-Bayda Governorate, central Yemen.

The island, located strategically off the western coast of Yemen, has become a repeated target in Washington’s ongoing military campaign against Houthi forces.

Simultaneously, U.S. aircraft carried out multiple airstrikes on Houthi positions in Al-Zaher District in Al-Bayda, a governorate in central Yemen. 

While exact casualties remain unclear, local sources indicate that the strikes have left dozens dead or injured, heightening an already volatile situation.

These latest attacks mark a significant escalation in U.S. military activity in Yemen and come amid growing regional instability, raising concerns of further humanitarian and political fallout.
