U.S. Escalates Yemen Airstrikes, Bringing Total Deaths Since March 15 to at Least 57
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. airstrikes pounded at least 40 locations across Yemen early today,
including in the capital Sana'a, as the Trump administration continues
its military campaign against the Houthis. At least seven people were
injured, according to early on-the-ground reports. A coalition of
advocacy groups - DAWN, Action Corps and Just Foreign Policy - are
demanding an end to the U.S. attacks, saying they violate the U.N.
Charter and that "Congress should stop strikes on Yemen and uphold its
sole authority to declare war under Article I of the Constitution and
the 1973 War Powers Resolution." At least 57 people have been killed
since the U.S. bombing started on March 15 after Houthi fighters said
they would resume Red Sea cargo attacks over Israel's renewed all-out
war on Gaza.
