Yemen: US strikes kill 2 civilians, injure 4 others

US airstrikes targeted the Hafsin area west of Saada in northern Yemen on Saturday evening , killing two civilians and wounding four others.
Yemen’s Saba news agency quoted a source that four air raids were launched in the area.
The denial came in response to President Donald Trump’s post on X, who shared a video purportedly showing the strike's aftermath.
The source claimed the footage instead depicted “a tribal gathering of villagers celebrating Eid ul-Fitr in the coastal city of Hodeidah,” asserting that the individuals present had no connection to military activities.
There was no immediate confirmation from US Central Command regarding the airstrikes or the nature of the target.
The strike comes amid escalating tensions following President Donald Trump’s warning that “YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP!"
The Houthis initiated their attacks on Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea in November 2023, to pressure for humanitarian aid access to Gaza.
A ceasefire in January 2025 led to a temporary halt in these attacks, until the collapse of the truce and Israel's resumption of military operations in Gaza, when the Houthis declared the resumption of their attacks.
