US Air Force strikes Houthi targets in Yemen, four dead

• US air force attacks: The American air force bombed Houthi rebel positions in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, resulting in casualties among the civilian population.
• Target of the attacks: According to Al Hadath TV, the target was weapons storage facilities belonging to the Houthis in Sana'a and Saada province.
• Houthi response: Previously, the rebels launched attacks on the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea.

The American air forces carried out raids on Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, controlled by the Ansar Allah movement's Houthi rebels. As reported by Al Masirah TV channel, the attacks resulted in the deaths of at least four people, with many others injured. These attacks are part of a large-scale operation initiated on 15th March on the orders of President Donald Trump, aiming to protect American interests and ensure freedom of navigation in the region.

According to local media, a building in a residential district in the west of Sana'a was bombed. Al Hadath TV reported that the targets of the attacks were weapons storage facilities belonging to the Houthis, located in both Sana'a and Saada province in north-western Yemen. In response to US actions, the Ansar Allah movement carried out missile and drone attacks on the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman.

Since autumn 2023, the Houthis have conducted over 100 attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, claiming to act in solidarity with Palestinian Hamas. The conflict in Yemen, ongoing since 2014, has led to a humanitarian crisis. According to international organisations, around 22 million of the country's residents are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.
