US forces have struck more than 1,000 targets in President Donald Trump’s campaign against Houthi militants in Yemen, the Pentagon said, offering rare insight into a stepped-up offensive that’s been conducted largely in secret.

American forces have hit more than 1,000 Houthi targets in Yemen as part of a campaign that began in March to stop attacks by the militants on the shipping lanes of the Red Sea, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Sustained air and naval strikes "have killed hundreds of Houthi fighters" in Yemen, the US military says.

The USS Harry S. Truman had turned sharply to evade a Houthi attack in the Red Sea when the F/A-18E Super Hornet fell overboard and was lost, a U.S. official said.

The $60M mishap adds to an increasingly expensive price tag in the administration’s effort against the Iran-backed group.

The U.S. has had numerous encounters with Houthi fighters targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea since 2023. U.S.-led bombing strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen began in January 2024. Those efforts have intensified under the Trump administration.
