In a tragic incident on Sunday evening, fresh U.S. airstrikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa have left 4 people dead and 23 injured. The attack hit a house in the densely populated Shu'ub district, causing significant damage to multiple residences.
Local medical sources confirmed the fatalities included 2 men and 2 women, while 11 women and children were among those injured. Rescue teams are combing through the rubble, hoping to find survivors amid the devastation 😢.
In related developments, Houthi-run media reported three separate airstrikes on Mount Al-Aswad in the Bani Matar district, though no casualties were confirmed there. Residents in the Hodeidah province also noted U.S. strikes targeting sites such as Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, with no injuries documented.
This latest action is part of a renewed campaign by the U.S. military against Houthi targets, launched on March 15 to degrade the group’s capabilities by hitting air defense systems, command hubs, and weapons storage sites. In response, the Houthi movement—controlling Sanaa and large parts of northern Yemen—has vowed to continue attacks on Israeli-linked commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, citing restrictions on Gaza aid.
