US and Israeli Airstrikes Devastate Houthi Port in Retaliation for Missile Attack on Israel
UPDATE: Trump Declares Houthis Defeated as U.S. Halts Airstrikes Following Israeli Assault Trump Declares Houthis Defeated as U.S. Halts Airstrikes Following Israeli Assault President Donald Trump has announced an end to U.S. airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, declaring that the Iranian-backed rebel group has “capitulated” and no longer wishes to continue hostilities. Speaking to reporters, Trump stated, “We had some very good news last night. The Houthis have announced that they — they’ve announced to us at least — that they don’t want to fight any more. They just don’t want to fight. We will honour that and will stop the bombings and they have capitulated and, more importantly, we will take their word.” These are not dark clouds. This is the Sanaa International Airport burning. Trump further claimed that the group had committed to ending attacks on maritime traffic in the Red Sea, an area that has seen heightened tensions and violence in recent months. “They will not be blowing up ships any more. I think that’s very positive; they were knocking out a lot of ships sailing beautifully down the various seas,” he said. The announcement comes in the wake of a dramatic escalation involving Israeli forces, who bombed the Houthi-controlled airport in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday. The Israeli military said its airstrikes “fully disabled the airport,” targeting flight runways, aircraft, and infrastructure. According to the Israel Defence Forces, the facility had become “a central hub for the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons and operatives.” The strike was reportedly in response to a missile launched from Yemen that landed near Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Trump, who is set to embark on a three-day tour of the Middle East next week with visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, teased a major announcement to come in the days before his departure. “It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, [a] very important subject,” he said, adding that it could be revealed on Thursday, Friday, or Monday. However, with renewed Israeli military operations underway in Gaza, Trump is not expected to include Israel on his itinerary. The situation in Gaza has further complicated regional dynamics, adding urgency to the president’s upcoming diplomatic mission. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also spoke on the recent developments, noting that the administration appeared to have achieved a breakthrough in persuading the Houthis to halt attacks on maritime targets. “I think it is an important development,” Rubio said, though he did not offer details on whether a formal agreement had been signed or if the deal included any international partners. While the specifics of any accord remain unclear, Trump’s declaration suggests a strategic pivot in the U.S. approach to the conflict in Yemen, where years of war have drawn in regional powers and resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis. The sudden shift also raises questions about the extent to which recent Israeli military actions influenced the Houthis' decision to de-escalate — and whether the group’s promise to cease hostilities will hold in the long term.

Crime Trang: Over 600 Modified Motorbikes Seized, Nearly 500 Illegal Exhausts Destroyed
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities in Trang Province have launched a major crackdown on illegal street racing and modified motorbikes, seizing more than 600 vehicles and destroying nearly 500 illegal exhaust pipes, while also making significant drug and weapons-related arrests. At a press conference held on 6 May, at the Trang Provincial Police Headquarters, Trang Governor Mr. Songklod Sawangwong and Provincial Police Commander Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattharawit Keetmotaneekul announced the results of the operation under the campaign “No Illegal Racing in Trang.” The effort, which took place from February to April, targeted unauthorised vehicle modifications and broader criminal activity across the province. Authorities confiscated a total of 607 illegally modified motorcycles. They also inspected 204 auto repair shops and parts retailers, as well as 50 educational institutions. In 11 of those schools, 44 illegal vehicles were discovered, and 44 students were given warnings. Fourteen sets of parents were called in for official discussions. In a symbolic act of enforcement, officials laid out 477 confiscated illegal exhaust pipes along a road and crushed them using a steamroller. The dramatic demonstration served as a stern warning to youth and street racing enthusiasts to stop engaging in dangerous and unlawful vehicle modifications. The Trang police outlined five strict measures to curb illegal street racing: 1. Immediate seizure and destruction of illegal vehicles and parts; 2. Legal accountability for parents of offending minors; 3. Increased monitoring in schools and garages; 4. Prohibition on garages modifying or selling unapproved parts without permission; 5. Shutdown of online pages promoting illegal street racing, with admins facing legal consequences. Alongside the vehicle crackdown, police also reported the results of anti-crime operations in other areas: • Drug arrests: 293 cases involving 308 suspects, with 161,900 methamphetamine pills and 12.6 grams of crystal meth seized. • Firearms offences: 85 cases with 84 illegal firearms confiscated. • Gambling offences: 11 cases involving 28 suspects. • Arrest warrants executed: 59 warrants leading to the arrest of 58 individuals. The authorities reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring public safety and upholding the law, warning that such campaigns will continue. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-07. -
