In a dramatic escalation, U.S. airstrikes hit Yemen's Houthi-held capital Sanaa on Sunday night, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens. Rescue teams are working hard, searching through the rubble of three bombed houses in the Bani Al-Harith district. 💥
Reports indicate nearly 20 airstrikes targeted several locations in northern Yemen throughout the day. Earlier, similar strikes hit two houses in both southern and northern Sanaa, further adding to the toll with additional casualties.
According to U.S. Central Command, these latest strikes were aimed at Houthi leadership. The renewed air campaign comes amid sharply rising tensions since U.S. forces resumed airstrikes on March 15, intended to deter Houthis from targeting Israel and international shipping lanes in the Red and Arabian Seas.
