US-UK Strikes on Yemen: 14 Killed, Hodeida Radio Station and Port of Salif Targeted After Houthi Attacks on Ships

On May 31, 2024, the United States and Britain conducted coordinated air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes were in response to recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by the Iran-backed militia group. According to multiple sources, including Agence France-Presse (AFP) and France24, 14 people were killed and over 30 injured as a result of the strikes on Hodeida radio station and the port of Salif. The US Central Command reported that American and British fighter jets and US ships hit a wide range of targets, including underground facilities, missile launchers, command and control sites, a Houthi vessel, and other facilities. Additionally, eight uncrewed aerial vehicles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen were struck by the US. The strikes came after the downing of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone in Yemen on May 30 and damage to a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greek-owned ship in the Red Sea earlier that week. The Houthis have been increasing their attacks on shipping in recent months, demanding an end to the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. The US has been carrying out almost daily strikes against Houthi targets since January 12, including incoming missiles and drones aimed at ships and weapons prepared to launch. President Joe Biden and other senior leaders have repeatedly warned that the US will not tolerate Houthi attacks against commercial shipping. The strikes were the fifth round of coalition strikes against the Houthis since January 12, marking a significant escalation in military action in Yemen.

    The article contains inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. It uses loaded language such as 'Iran-backed militia group' and 'demanding that Israel end the war in Gaza', which can create a sense of urgency and fear without providing evidence. The author also relies on quotes from unnamed officials, which cannot be verified or challenged by the reader. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the situation, presenting the Houthis as solely responsible for attacks on shipping without considering other potential factors or actors.
