At least 31 killed and up to 100 injured after Trump orders strikes on Sana’a and Saada in response to shipping attacks

US officials have said airstrikes launched by Donald Trump against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis may continue for weeks, after a first round on Saturday killed at least 31 people and injured up to 100 more.

The strikes, which aim to punish the Houthis for their attacks against Red Sea shipping, are Trump’s first such use of US military might in the region since he took power in January.
