US EditionYemen: US fighting costly battle against the Houthis
- The US military initiated Operation Rough Rider on March 15, 2025, targeting the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen with over 800 airstrikes.
- The campaign was launched to prevent the Houthis from targeting maritime traffic in the Red Sea and to apply pressure on Iran’s allied groups in the region amid rising tensions.
- Strikes focused on Houthi command centers, missile sites, and weapons storage, while civilian casualties and destruction, including at a migrant detention camp, raised concerns.
- Officials report hundreds of Houthi fighters killed and a 69% drop in missile launches, but civilian deaths reached at least 70 in April, with critics questioning the campaign’s impact.
- The operation, costing over $1 billion, has not stopped Houthi attacks or forced capitulation, suggesting ongoing conflict with potential for further escalation or diplomatic efforts.
