Yemeni Media Says Trump Shared Footage of a US Strike on a Religious Gathering

On Saturday, Yemen’s SABA news agency reported that footage shared by President Trump that showed a US airstrike in Yemen hit a religious gathering, not a Houthi military meeting as the president claimed.

Trump posted the video on his social media, which showed a group of people gathered in a large circle who were then bombed. “These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis!” the president wrote on X.

Trump added that the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, will “never sink our ships again,” although there have been no known incidents of the Yemeni group sinking an American ship.
