Chinese firm aiding Houthi attacks on US vessels, as airstrikes kill 74
Friday, 18 April 2025 () The State Department is accusing a Chinese satellite firm of providing imagery to support Houthi rebel attacks in the Red Sea, escalating tensions amid ongoing maritime security concerns in the region.
In a dramatic escalation, U.S. warplanes under President Trump’s command unleashed 13 relentless airstrikes on Houthi targets just hours after a deadly American bombing in Yemen’s Hodeidah. The strikes, part of a 24/7 campaign, come in response to rising Houthi aggression in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. As smoke and fire engulf rebel strongholds, reports suggest this could be one of the most intense aerial assaults yet. With the Houthis vowing revenge and U.S. forces doubling down, tensions in the region are reaching a breaking point

US' 20th Reaper Fall: In a stunning escalation of the Yemen conflict, the Houthis have reportedly shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone, marking the 20th such loss for the United States. The drone, valued at over $30 million, was torn apart mid-flight by a surface-to-air missile launched by Houthi forces during Thursday’s American airstrikes on their strongholds.
Footage released by the Houthis shows the drone plummeting from the sky in flames, with locals surrounding the wreckage, chanting "Allahu Akbar." While the US has yet to confirm the loss, the strike highlights the growing sophistication of Houthi anti-air capabilities and their ongoing efforts to challenge US military dominance in the region.

A U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s Ras Isa oil port has resulted in at least 74 fatalities and over 100 injuries, marking the deadliest strike in the ongoing military campaign. The attack, aimed at crippling the Houthi rebels' fuel supply, led to a massive fireball engulfing the port. The Houthis claim that civilian workers were targeted, and graphic footage shows the aftermath. The Pentagon justifies the strike as an effort to disrupt the Houthis' operations. As the U.S. escalates its involvement, tensions continue to rise in Yemen’s civil war.

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle.

The U.S. has revoked all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and halted future issuances, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday. The decision follows Juba’s alleged refusal to accept deported nationals. The State Department criticized South Sudan’s transitional government for “taking advantage” of U.S. leniency. The move comes amid worsening instability in South Sudan, which faces mass displacement and food crises. The Biden administration says visa restrictions will remain until full cooperation is ensured. South Sudan’s Foreign Ministry and the UN have not responded to requests for comment.

U.S. Navy fighter jets from the USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman are conducting continuous precision strikes on Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. U.S. Central Command released new footage showing intense operations as American warplanes hammer Houthi-held sites across the region. The strikes come amid growing Red Sea tensions, stalled nuclear talks with Iran, and the presence of U.S. carriers near Iranian waters. As diplomacy falters, Washington signals it’s prepared for broader conflict—with all options still on the table.
