Sanaa: The United States has launched another round of airstrikes on Yemen, hitting the capital city of Sanaa and other provinces, resulting in at least nine injuries, including seven women and two children. The strikes targeted a building under construction in the Geraf neighborhood, damaging nearby residential structures and injuring civilians who were sheltering in an adjacent building, according to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.
This attack marked the second US airstrike on the area since Saturday, when earlier raids killed 53 people and injured 98, including women and children, as reported by Houthi-controlled health authorities.
In addition to the Sanaa strike, the airstrikes also spread to other regions, with al-Masirah reporting hits on Houthi-controlled areas in Saada, al-Bayda, Hodeidah, and al-Jawf governorates.
The Houthis, who control northern Yemen, claimed responsibility for launching cruise missiles at the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea earlier on Wednesday, marking their fourth such attack in 72 hours. The group insists that their maritime strikes target only Israeli-linked vessels to pressure Israel to stop its Gaza offensive and allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave.
The US military, which began its airstrikes on Houthi targets on Saturday, stated that its campaign is aimed at safeguarding international shipping lanes. US President Donald Trump had earlier warned the Houthis to cease their attacks or face severe consequences, declaring, “Hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before.”
In response to the US airstrikes, the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated that their operation, involving cruise missiles and drones, successfully thwarted a “hostile US air attack.”
