Since January 2024, the US and the UK, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand, have launched a series of cruise missiles and airstrikes, codenamed Operation Poseidon Archer, against the Houthis. The strikes were intended to degrade Houthi capabilities to attack Red Sea targets rather than to kill leaders and Iranian trainers. However, as of January 2, 2025, the Houthis allegedly recorded 931 American and British airstrikes against its sites in Yemen, resulting in 106 deaths and 314 injuries.
