US President Donald Trump has launched strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. <\/p>\n

In a post on his Truth Social platform, he also warned Iran the country’s support for the group must “end immediately”.<\/p>\n

The Iran-backed Houthis reported a series of explosions in Yemen’s capital Sanaa on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The Houthi-run health ministry said at least nine civilians have been killed and nine others injured.<\/p>\n

Images shared online show plumes of black smoke over the area of the city’s airport complex, which includes a sprawling military facility.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump said the strikes were over the Houthi’s attacks against ships in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n

“Your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don’t, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before,” he said.<\/p>\n

The president said Iran would be held “fully accountable” for the actions of its proxy, adding: “And we won’t be nice about it!”<\/p>\n

The strikes come days after the Houthis said they would resume attacks on Israeli vessels sailing in waters off Yemen in response to Israel’s blockade on Gaza, although there have been no Houthi attacks reported since then.<\/p>\n

The Houthis launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping from November 2023, saying they were in solidarity with
Palestinians over Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump wrote: “The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.”<\/p>\n

The US, Israel and Britain have previously hit Houthi-held areas in Yemen.<\/p>\n
