LIVE: Trump Bombs Yemen; Houthis Vow to Attack US Warships | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

A new conflict has erupted in West Asia as the United States launched a series of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, escalating tensions in the region. President Donald Trump, who ordered the military operation, accused the Houthis of piracy and terrorism, citing their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. The strikes, which began on Saturday, targeted key Houthi strongholds, including the capital, Sanaa, and Saada. The Houthis, an armed group in Yemen backed by Iran, have claimed to have attacked US warships, including the Truman aircraft carrier, in response to the strikes. They have vowed to “meet escalation with escalation.” Houthi officials have reported that at least 53 people, including five children, have been killed in the US strikes, alleging that residential areas were targeted. What is Trump trying to achieve by targeting the Houthis? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
