The U.S. military carried out a wave of strikes on Houthi training sites, command centers, and weapons facilities in Yemen. The U.S. military says the strikes are intended to restore freedom of navigation in nearby waters. U.S. President Donald Trump also warned Iran to stop arming the Houthis, who have targeted American warships and commercial vessels with drones and other weapons since late 2023.
