The drums of war grow louder, and Yemen remains caught in the crosshairs. Within a single day, the United States has launched its second wave of airstrikes, this time pounding a neighborhood in Saada. According to local sources, a solar shop was obliterated. That’s what’s being reported on the ground. Washington sees something else entirely. Military targets, they claim. But from above, anything can look like a threat when the goal is escalation.
Four more missiles dropped from the sky today. Earlier, the Kahlan area was also hit. Saada is not a battlefield in the traditional sense. It’s a city, a place where people live, work and try to survive. Now it’s a war zone again. The Houthis say two are dead, nine more wounded. The U.S. hasn’t confirmed any of it, but the silence says enough. The wreckage speaks louder than official statements.
This isn’t just about Yemen. The Red Sea has turned into a flashpoint, a place where global shipping routes and regional proxy conflicts collide. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have resumed attacks on vessels in those waters. It’s retaliation, they say. It’s defense. But in response, Washington is dropping bombs from the sky, convinced this will stop the bleeding. It never does. The missiles fall, and the fires spread.
The numbers reveal more than the headlines. Since mid-March, over 200 strikes have hit Yemen. That’s not measured restraint. That’s sustained warfare. Quiet and distant to many Americans, but deafening to those beneath the drones. This is no longer about a narrow mission. This is mission creep by design.
Officials in D.C. insist the goal is stability. Protect shipping lanes, curb aggression, restore calm. But each explosion fuels the very chaos it was meant to contain. We’ve been down this road before. It ends in more violence, not less. With each strike, the region inches closer to a wider war. And somehow, those who keep pushing the button still act surprised when the world burns hotter.
🇺🇸🇾🇪 U.S. HITS YEMEN AGAIN—2ND STRIKE IN A DAY
American warplanes just launched another round of airstrikes in northern Yemen—this time hitting a shop and a nearby house in Saada’s Hafsin neighborhood.
That’s four more missiles today, after the U.S. already struck the Kahlan… https://t.co/vvGYgJZRdz pic.twitter.com/bboaN9HsFm
