The strikes mark a significant escalation in the Yemen conflict and could widen instability across the Red Sea and Gulf. Reporting indicates the coalition said it had neutralized Houthi capabilities used to threaten Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the southern Red Sea, while U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Houthi conduct. Independent details about casualties, the precise targets, and any Houthi response were not immediately available.
