The Yemeni Health Ministry reports at least 9 killed and 9 injured as a result of the U.S. strikes earlier on the Capital of Sana’a in Houthi-controlled Western Yemen.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced that Keith Kellogg will now just be the U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine, instead of both Russia and Ukraine. Formerly appointed the special envoy for both Russia and Ukraine, Kellogg has been vocal in his support for Ukraine. Given recent reports surrounding Russia’s reported refusal to negotiate with him due to his pro-Ukrainian comments and public stances on the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, it’s likely that the change in his noscript and remit was done with this in mind.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has released footage showing the launch of F/A-18E “Super Hornets” with Strike Fighter Squadron 143 (VFA-143) and EA-18G “Growlers” with Electronic Attack Squadron 144 (VAQ-144), from onboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in the Northern Red Sea, for tonight’s strikes against Houthi radars, air defenses, missile and drone systems, as well as other terrorist targets in Western Yemen.

U.S. Northern Command has announced that the Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer, USS Gravely (DDG-107) has departed Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, for a deployment to the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) in order to support security operations on the U.S-Mexico Border. A U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) will be embarked aboard the Gravely in domestic and international waters, as they aid Homeland Security.

According to the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs & Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell, the Houthis in Yemen have conducted a total of 319 attacks on commercial and U.S naval shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since 2023. 174 of these attacks targeted U.S. warships operating in the local region, while 145 attacks have been carried out against commercial shipping in and around the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a key maritime chokepoint.

A F/A-18E “Super Hornet” with Strike Fighter Squadron 136 (VFA-136) assigned to Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1), is seen taking-off from the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in the Northern Red Sea tonight for strikes against the Houthis in Western Yemen.

All roughly 1,300 journalists and other staffers with Voice of America (VoA) and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), international news broadcasting agencies aired in 48 languages and funded by the U.S. Government, arrived at work this morning only to find out they had been locked out and indefinitely suspended, following an order last night by U.S. President Donald J. Trump which directed the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) to terminate all agencies not required by Federal Law. President Trump’s order also affected USAGM contracts with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, which have all now been cancelled, ending U.S-linked broadcasts supporting democracy and free press in authoritarian regimes across the world since the 1950s.

Steve Capus, the President of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty said in statement today shared with NPR, “The cancellation of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's grant agreement would be a massive gift to America's enemies. The Iranian Ayatollahs, Chinese communist leaders, and autocrats in Moscow and Minsk would celebrate the demise of RFE/RL after 75 years. Handing our adversaries a win would make them stronger and America weaker. We've benefitted from strong bipartisan support throughout RFE/RL's storied history. Without us, the nearly 50 million people in closed societies who depend on us for accurate news and information each week won't have access to the truth about America and the world."

At least two more waves of airstrikes tonight by the U.S. Navy and Air Force on Houthi military and infrastructure sites in Western Yemen, with the Yemeni Oil Company and several power stations reported to have been targeted in the Sana’a Governorate.
