At least one person was killed and 15 others injured, including three children and two women, in a U.S. airstrike targeting a residential area in Yemen’s Houthi-held capital Sanaa on Sunday night, according to Houthi-controlled media. The strike in the western suburb of Asr left local residents describing the scene as “very violent,” with rescue teams urgently searching for survivors under the rubble. 🚨
The attack follows earlier U.S. military strikes in northern Yemen’s Saada province and Hodeidah, escalating tensions amid a months-long air campaign targeting Houthi positions. Hours before the Sanaa strike, the Houthi group claimed attacks on a U.S. aircraft carrier and Israel’s Ben Gurion airport – which Israel says it intercepted. 🔥
No official comment has been issued by U.S. authorities. The Houthis, who control large parts of Yemen since 2014, vow to continue strikes against Israeli targets in solidarity with Gaza and counter what they call “American aggression.”
🌍 Why it matters: The conflict highlights growing regional volatility, with civilians increasingly caught in crossfire. Stay tuned for updates.
