US escalates airstrikes in Yemen as four killed near port city
This satellite photo from Planet Labs PBC shows six B-2 stealth bombers parked at Camp Thunder Cove in Diego Garcia on April 2, 2025, as a U.S. airstrike campaign continues against Yemen's Houthi rebels

SUSPECTED US air strikes pounded insurgent-held areas of Yemen into this morning, with the Houthis reporting that one strike killed at least four people near a Red Sea port city.

Meanwhile, satellite images taken today show at least six stealth B-2 Spirit bombers unusually stationed at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean amid the US’s Yemen campaign and escalating tensions with Iran.

It represents nearly a third of all the B-2 bombers in Washington’s arsenal, which is rarely deployed abroad.
