‘US airstrikes on Houthis kill six’ after Trump’s ‘time to hide’ warning – as Don says he’ll ‘decide on Iran quickly’

AT least six people have been killed in suspected US airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen's capital.

Donald Trump issued a threat to the Iran-backed terror group warning them it was "time to hide" on Sunday.

Footage aired by the Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite news channel showed firefighters trying to put out a raging fire they said had been caused by the strikes.

Streets were also seen covered in rubble outside what is thought to be a ceramics factory in the city.

The strikes reportedly killed at least six people and left a further 26 injured.

The US military’s Central Command, which oversees American military operations, did not acknowledge the strikes.

The Houthis also claimed that they shot down an American drone over Yemen on Sunday night.

A spokesperson for the Houthi military said they brought down the MQ-9 Reaper with a "locally manufactured missile".

This comes after Donald Trump issued a stark warning to the Houthis on Sunday.

The president vowed to fight the terror group and bring peace to the region in a chilling video which appeared to show an apparent terrorist being bombed.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said: "Time for the terrorists to hide, but it won’t do them any good.

"Our Warfighters, the Greatest the World has ever seen, will find them and bring them to swift Justice.

"I empowered our Warfighters, once again, just like I did against our fight with ISIS, who were completely obliterated in three weeks under General Daniel Caine, our new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"We will support the Somali People, who should not allow the Houthis to embed (which they are trying to do!), to end terrorism, and bring prosperity to their Country."

Just a few weeks ago,  Trump began his "unrelenting" campaign of airstrikes against the Houthis as part of efforts to stop the group's attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

Houthi rebels - Iran's major proxy terror group - claimed to have twice attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships within 24 hours - sparking fury.
