In breaking news from the Middle East, the United States has carried out airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militant sites in Yemen. The attacks, which struck over a dozen targets, included radar systems, drone storage and launch sites, as well as facilities for ballistic and cruise missiles. President Biden issued a statement, explaining that these strikes were a direct response to the continuous Houthi attacks on international ships in the Red Sea. He also warned that additional strikes could follow. The Houthi rebels have been launching attacks on ships in the Red Sea since November, with the frequency of these attacks steadily increasing.
Moving on to another breaking news story, former President Trump found himself reprimanded by a judge in his New York civil fraud trial. The judge ordered Trump's attorneys to regain control over their client after he launched into a verbal tirade, directing his grievances towards New York's Attorney General, Letitia James, and accusing the judge, Arthur Enger, of having a personal agenda. Trump's outburst was cut short in the courtroom, but he proceeded to address the media after leaving, using the opportunity to make political statements and criticize his opponents.
