United States (US) air strikes have killed at least four people in Sanaa, Yemen, according to the Ministry of Health.

The attacks on the capital on Sunday hit a home and wounded more than 20 other people, including four women and children, according to local sources.

US warplanes launched three other air strikes on the Al Jabal al Aswad area in the Bani Matar district, west of the capital. No details were available regarding casualties.

Earlier, the Houthis said US air strikes killed at least two people overnight in a Houthi stronghold, Saada, and wounded nine.

Footage aired by the Houthis’ Al Masirah satellite news channel showed a strike collapsing what appeared to be a two-storey building.

The intense campaign of air strikes in Yemen under US President Donald Trump has targeted the Iranian-aligned group over Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. The Yemeni group has been carrying out attacks in solidarity with Palestinians during Israel’s war in Gaza.

Dozens of people in Yemen have been killed in the latest US strikes since Trump ordered them to resume last month. Civilians have been targeted, families wiped out, military sites destroyed and soldiers killed.

The White House said there have been more than 200 strikes so far.

The US attacks started after the Houthis said they planned to resume targeting Israeli-linked ships over Israel blocking aid entering the Gaza Strip and its subsequent resumption of the war, which ended a six-week ceasefire on March 18.

The Houthis targeted more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones from November 2023 until January this year.

They also launched attacks targeting US warships.

Economic Statecraft and the New Geography of Power in Regional Politics

Strategic competition has moved beyond decisive wars toward a subtler synthesis of economic leverage, proxy networks, and calibrated force. Infrastructure, finance, and trade routes now function as instruments of power, quietly reshaping regional orders while preserving the façade of restraint. In this environment, security is no longer confined to the battlefield but embedded in supply chains, data networks, and development choices, forcing states to rethink deterrence, sovereignty, and resilience.

The Manufacturing of a False Equivalence

The Manufacturing of a False Equivalence

As scrutiny mounts over the Taliban’s tolerance of TTP sanctuaries, Kabul has attempted to deflect blame by alleging that ISIS-K operates from Pakistan. This false equivalence ignores the historical origins of ISIS-K in eastern Afghanistan, its sustained campaign of violence against Pakistan, and verified intelligence showing that the group’s operational depth remains rooted inside Afghan territory.

Healthcare as Statecraft in Taliban-Ruled Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s recent shift away from Pakistani pharmaceutical imports toward Indian suppliers marks a dangerous transformation of healthcare into a tool of geopolitical signaling. Framed as regulatory reform, this pivot reflects a broader biopolitical strategy in which access to medicine is subordinated to diplomatic recalibration, with profound ethical and humanitarian consequences for an already vulnerable population.

Despite consolidating internal control and boosting revenues, the Taliban remain structurally incompatible with the 2025 global Counter-Terrorism Financing regime, as sanctions, militant linkages, and gender persecution block financial reintegration.
