On April 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump shared a video depicting a U.S. airstrike targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, reports Marine Insight.

U.S. airstrike targeting Houthi rebels
The video shows a drone strike eliminating a group of individuals identified as Houthi fighters. While the exact location and timing of the strike were not specified, the action aligns with a series of U.S. military operations aimed at countering threats to maritime navigation in the Red Sea region.
The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has been implicated in multiple attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, prompting heightened U.S. military responses. President Trump has emphasized that such strikes will persist until the Houthis cease their attacks on U.S. ships.
These developments occur within the broader context of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a U.S.-led international initiative launched in December 2023 to safeguard maritime navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The operation was established in response to Houthi attacks on shipping vessels in the region.
The situation remains dynamic, with ongoing military actions and diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing the complexities of the conflict in Yemen and ensuring the safety of international maritime routes.
