The United States launched airstrikes on Saturday against a militant group believed to be responsible for numerous attacks in Yemen, marking the country’s first use of military action in a decade. The strikes targeted an al-Qaeda affiliate known as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) following intelligence reports indicating the group’s plans for attacks against US and allied interests. While the US has condemned the group’s actions and pledged to work with regional allies on counterterrorism efforts, the attack remains controversial due to ongoing concerns about civilian casualties and the potential for escalating tensions in the already volatile region. The strike comes amidst a growing humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where millions face starvation and disease following years of war.
