Yemen: 19 US Airstrikes Hit Sana'a, Leaving One Dead
The capital city of Yemen, Sana'a, witnessed a series of U.S. airstrikes that targeted multiple sites, leaving one person dead and 13 others injured, including children. The strikes, part of an ongoing campaign against Houthi-controlled areas, have intensified over the past week, with 19 airstrikes reported in a single day.
The targeted locations included military neighborhoods and strategic Houthi facilities. According to reports, the strikes aimed to dismantle the group's missile and drone capabilities, which have been used to threaten regional security. However, the attack on a residential area has raised concerns about civilian casualties and the humanitarian impact of such operations.
The Houthi-controlled SABA news agency confirmed the casualties and released footage showing the aftermath, including collapsed buildings and widespread destruction. The U.S. has not provided specific details about the sites targeted but emphasized its commitment to countering threats posed by the Iran-backed group.
This escalation highlights the complexities of the Yemeni conflict, with international interventions continuing to shape the dynamics on the ground. The situation remains tense as observers call for measures to minimize civilian harm while addressing security challenges.
