Houthi accuses Saudi Arabia of conducting 52 airstrikes in 1 day

Houthi forces in Yemen said on September 15 (local time) that Saudi Arabia had conducted 52 airstrikes in 5 Yemeni provinces in 24 hours, amid escalating fighting between Houthi and Yemeni government forces on many fronts.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea informed that F-15 and Typhoon fighters were deployed from Khamis Mushait airbase, southwestern Saudi Arabia, and Taif, western Saudi Arabia. The attacked provinces include Taiz, Al-Jawf, Al-Bayda, Saada and Amran.

Mr. Yahya Sarea also declared that this force will respond to airstrikes. Saudi Arabia has not yet commented on the above information.

Tensions continued to escalate after the Houthi launched a military campaign from September 3, changing the situation in many areas along the Red Sea coast of Yemen. According to information from the Houthi side, this force seized control of the port city of Mocha on September 10, then entered the Bab al-Mandab area and controlled Mayun Island on September 11. These locations are important to the maritime route through the Bab al-Mandab strait.

US judge issues new ruling related to the name Kennedy Center

Judge Christopher Cooper on September 15 (local time) continued to prevent the Board of Directors of the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center from writing President Donald Trump's name on the exterior of the building.

Mr. Cooper believes that the addition of commemorative content at the Kennedy Center needs to be approved by the US Congress. Previously, he ruled that the Board of Directors of the Kennedy Center had exceeded its legal authority when adding Mr. Trump's name to the center.

On the same day, the Board of Directors of the Kennedy Center decided to close this facility immediately, citing difficult financial conditions and issues related to the safety of the building.

On the social network Truth Social, President Trump said that the plan to renovate and rebuild the center could not begin until the Federal Court of Appeal in the Special Administrative Region of Columbia makes a ruling related to the name issue.

SpaceX plans to put Starship into orbit for the first time

SpaceX is expected to put the Starship rocket into Earth orbit for the first time in its 14th test flight, scheduled for September 22.

According to SpaceX, the launch window is expected to open at 7:15 am (central US time), lasting 75 minutes and depending on the approval of the management agency. The rocket will be launched from the Starbase facility in Texas, USA.

In the mission, Starship is expected to fly at an altitude of about 275km, completing about 6 rounds around the Earth in nearly 10 hours before landing in the Pacific Ocean, west of Chile.

Starship also plans to put 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit. This generation of satellites will help increase network capacity and improve connection speed for users.

SpaceX said it has adjusted some hardware and software after the previous flight. Starship's 13th test flight was conducted on July 24 and achieved some important goals.
