Trump orders Operation Rough Rider 1,000+ airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen

Trump orders "decisive and powerful military action" against Houthi targets in Yemen. Over 1,000 airstrikes are conducted through late April, involving the USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group and USS Georgia cruise missile submarine. Targets include radar systems, air defenses, missiles, drones, and Houthi leaders. At least 53 killed, 98 injured according to Houthi health ministry. NSA Waltz frames the campaign as "holding Iran responsible."
