The Houthi - run Saba news agency says the United States carried out strikes overnight on the capital Sanaa and the neighboring districts of Bani Hashish and Khab al-Shaaf.

It does not provide further details about the reported strikes.

The US military has hit the Iran-backed Houthis with near-daily strikes since March 15 in an operation dubbed “Rough Rider,” seeking to end the threat they pose to vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The Houthis have been launching strikes targeting Israel and Western vessels in the Red Sea, in what they describe as solidarity with the Palestinians amid the war sparked by the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, onslaught.
