The United States launched airstrikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Wednesday, targeting Houthi positions, according to Houthi-run Al Masirah TV. The strikes come in response to continued attacks on shipping in the Red Sea by the Iran-aligned group.
Three residents told Reuters that the strikes hit the Al-Jarraf district near Sanaa’s airport. Additional strikes targeted an under-construction occasions hall in a residential area in Al-Thawra directorate, injuring nine civilians, including women and children, according to Houthi health ministry spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi.
Al Masirah also reported strikes on Al-Suwaidia directorate in Yemen’s al-Bayda province, an area known for Houthi military sites and weapons storage facilities.
The U.S. launched its latest wave of strikes on Houthi targets last Saturday, killing at least 31 people in the largest operation since President Donald Trump returned to office in January.
Trump has warned Iran of severe consequences should the Houthis continue their attacks. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards denied direct involvement, stating the Houthis operate independently.
Despite U.S. strikes and warnings, the Houthis vowed to escalate their operations. On Tuesday, they claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile towards Israel and threatened further attacks in response to renewed Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
Since Israel’s war with Hamas began in late 2023, the Houthis have conducted over 100 attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, citing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The assaults have disrupted global trade routes, prompting the U.S. military to engage in costly missile defense operations.
