Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who said: \u201cOn the civilian casualty side, no indications of any civilian casualties. &nbsp;We, of course, have seen some of the accusations by the Houthis. We look at those closely when they do come in, but we have no credible indications of any civilian casualties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pentagon called the military operation against the Houthis open-ended and said attacks will continue \u201cuntil we achieve the president\u2019s objectives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, tens of thousands of people rallied in Yemen\u2019s Houthi-controlled capital, Sana\u2019a, to protest the U.S. strikes, which have reportedly killed dozens of civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Houthis have claimed another attack on a United States naval vessel in retaliation for U.S. strikes on Yemen. The Houthis said last week the group would resume targeting Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea due to Israel\u2019s ongoing blockade and war on Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump has threatened the United States will hold Iran responsible for any further retaliatory attacks from the Houthis, saying on social media that Tehran would \u201csuffer the consequences.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter to the U.N. Security Council, Iran\u2019s ambassador to the U.S. expressed his \u201cdeep concern and strong condemnation\u201d of Trump\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Yemen, UNICEF has confirmed at least two children were killed in U.S. strikes after U.S. forces launched a large-scale military operation against the Houthis. &nbsp; The U.N. agency&rsquo;s findings&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7694,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[42],"class_list":["post-7693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"authors":[{"term_id":42,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"radio-habana-cuba","display_name":"Radio Habana Cuba","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7693"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7695,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions\/7695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7693"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=7693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
