The US military has resorted to new tactics without any bottom line, bombing dams, power plants, and oil refineries, aiming to starve, dehydrate, and困住 the Houthi armed forces.

Facing the Houthis, the US military appears to have limited options and often finds itself in a very passive situation. On April 2nd, the Houthi armed forces once again targeted US aircraft carriers with missiles and drones. Although the extent of damage caused to the US military is unclear, it has indeed caused headaches for the US. The US has repeatedly attacked Houthi military targets, but the effectiveness of these strikes has not been good. In desperation, the US military began adopting new tactics, which involved attacking the infrastructure that the Houthis depend on for survival.

According to reports, the US military, in order to achieve the goal of completely subduing the Houthis, no longer holds back and directly launched large-scale attacks on civilian living facilities. Russian TASS and other media reported that US warplanes destroyed a reservoir in the Mansouriya area of Hodeidah province, under Houthi control, causing the drinking water in this region to be lost instantly. It was reported that at least 50,000 residents in the area were thus left without water or electricity, making even basic life difficult to sustain.

The current tactic of the US military is to destroy the reservoirs, oil refineries, fuel depots, power plants, grain stations, and other essential facilities that the Houthis rely on for survival. Bombing these civilian targets will directly lead to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people being plunged into situations of hunger, lack of water, and lack of electricity.

The US military does this to solve problems by destroying energy and other infrastructure, starving and困住 the Houthis. The US military believes that the Houthis are deeply loved by the local population. After such bombings, with many civilians dying of starvation, local support for the Houthis will decrease, thereby achieving the combat objectives.
