Sanaa, Yemen — At least four people have been killed and 23 others injured after U.S. airstrikes targeted a residential area in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Sunday evening, local medical sources confirmed.
The fatalities include two men and two women, while the injured comprise 11 women and children, according to Sanaa’s health authorities. The strikes hit a house in the densely populated Shu’ub district, damaging multiple homes. Rescue teams are continuing to search through the rubble for potential survivors.
Meanwhile, Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported three separate airstrikes on Mount Al-Aswad in the Bani Matar district, west of Sanaa, though no casualties have been confirmed in those areas.
Earlier on Sunday, residents in the western province of Hodeidah reported U.S. strikes targeting sites including Kamaran Island in the Red Sea. No injuries were documented from these attacks.
The U.S. military initiated a renewed campaign against Houthi targets on March 15, claiming to have struck air defense systems, command centers, and weapons storage sites in an effort to “degrade the group’s capabilities.”
The Houthi movement, which controls Sanaa and large parts of northern Yemen, has vowed to continue its attacks on Israeli-linked commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The group cites Israel’s restrictions on aid to Gaza as justification for their actions.
