Trump boasts about bombing Yemeni 'villagers'

Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to brag about a US air strike in Yemen, claiming it wiped out Houthi fighters. The US president, posted a video of an air strike that left a gaping crater at the scene.

“These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!” Trump proclaimed.

Abdulrahman al-Ahnomi, a senior Houthi media official, dismissed Trump’s claim outright, insisting the victims were Yemeni villagers, not fighters.

“The US president is showing off his terrorism before the world,” he wrote on X. “Targeting a tribal gathering is not a victory, but a reflection of the US’s failure to identify any real targets.”

Washington continues its campaign against the Houthis, who have been disrupting Red Sea shipping in solidarity with Gaza.
