"US Drone Strike Eliminates Kataib Hezbollah Commander in Baghdad"

The US conducted a drone strike in Baghdad, killing a Kataib Hezbollah commander responsible for attacks on American forces, as part of a retaliatory response to a drone attack on a US outpost in Jordan last month. The strike comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran-backed militias in the region, with the US targeting multiple locations used by these militias. The Iraqi government has condemned the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty, and the US has indicated that more retaliatory actions may follow in response to the killing of three US soldiers.

"US Conducts Ongoing Strikes Against Houthi Targets in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions"

The US launched retaliatory strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen following continued attacks on international ships, targeting 14 Iranian-made Houthi missiles loaded to be fired in Houthi-controlled areas, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken announcing the reclassification of the Yemeni rebel group as a terrorist organization to restrict their access to financial support, while emphasizing that the decision could be reversed if the attacks on maritime traffic cease.

"Coalition Forces Launch Retaliatory Strike Against Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen"

The US and UK launched a retaliatory strike against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, targeting logistical hubs, air defense systems, and weapons storage locations using warship-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets. The strikes come after a persistent campaign of drone and missile attacks on commercial ships, with the Houthis firing their largest-ever barrage of drones and missiles despite warnings. The UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding the Houthis cease the attacks, implicitly condemning their weapons supplier, Iran. The Biden administration's reluctance to retaliate reflected concerns about upending the truce in Yemen and triggering a wider conflict in the region.

"Russia's Retaliatory Strikes: Ukraine's Port of Odesa Bombed in Response to Crimea Bridge Blast"

Russia launched a "mass retaliatory strike" on Ukraine's port city of Odessa, targeting facilities where "terrorist acts" were being prepared, including a shipyard manufacturing boats for assaults. The attack came a day after Russia blamed Ukraine for the bombing of a Russian-built bridge to Crimea and canceled a grain deal. Ukraine's military reported downing 31 attack drones and six cruise missiles, but the port infrastructure suffered damage. Meanwhile, the European Court of Human Rights dismissed Russia's claims of human rights violations by Ukraine, while the Kremlin accused Kyiv of various abuses.

"Ukrainian Military Engages in Intense Frontline Battle Amid Putin's Warning on Cluster Munitions"

Russian forces launched a third attack on the Kharkiv region, while Ukraine reportedly retaliated by shelling towns in the Belgorod region. One civilian was killed in the second attack in Kharkiv, and several others were injured. The Ukrainian military stated that Russian forces launched four missiles from the Belgorod region, with two exploding in the air and the other two hitting a stadium and a road in the city. In the Belgorod region, a woman was killed by Ukrainian shelling in the town of Shebekino. The fighting continues in various directions, with both sides claiming to hold the initiative. Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Ukraine's counteroffensive and warned of reciprocal action if cluster munitions are used against Russian forces. The UN-brokered deal to export Ukrainian grain through Black Sea ports is set to expire, with Russia refusing to register new shipments.
