US Escalates Airstrikes on Houthis in Yemen

 CNN published on 18 April 2025 an article titled "More than 70 Killed in US Airstrikes on Yemen Port, Houthis Say" by Kareem El Damanhoury and Mohammed Tawfeeq.  

The US Central Command launched airstrikes April 17 on a fuel port in the Red Sea province of Hodeidah aimed at cutting off revenue to the Houthis.  US airstrikes have pounded Houthi targets in Yemen since mid-March.  Some Houthi missile attacks are continuing in the Red Sea and others aimed at Israel.
