The Houthi’a intelligence chief may have been killed in a series of U.S. airstrikes overnight, according to a report from the Saudi-based news outlet al-Hadath.

The report claims Abdul Nasser Al-Kamali, the Iran-backed rebel group�s intelligence chief, was killed in the capital city of Sa�ana, which remains under Houthi control. The alleged strike was part of a wider wave of American air assaults targeting Houthi positions in and around the capital and the neighboring Mar�ib province.

A Houthi spokesperson, posting on Telegram, said U.S. warplanes carried out eleven strikes in Sa�ana and surrounding areas, along with nine more in Mar�ib, an inland region where the group maintains a strong presence.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has not issued a statement regarding the operation or the reported death of Al-Kamali. The Pentagon has remained tight-lipped since launching its renewed campaign against the Houthis on March 15.

However, speaking at the White House Monday during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made clear that Washington�s military pressure on the Houthis is only intensifying.

�We are not going to relent, and it�s only going to be more unrelenting until the Houthis declare they will stop shooting at our ships,� Hegseth said, in reference to the rebel group�s repeated attacks on commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
