U.S. President Donald Trump has launched extensive military strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels, marking the largest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since he took office. At least 31 people have been reported killed, including civilians. The strikes were initiated in response to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Trump warned Iran, the Houthis' main supporter, to stop its backing of the group or face consequences. The U.S. military operation is expected to continue for several days. Iran condemned the strikes as "brutal" and a violation of international law. Russia has also called for the U.S. to cease its military actions and engage in dialogue to prevent further violence.
