At least two people were killed in overnight US strikes in and around Yemen’s capital Sanaa, media controlled by the Houthi militia reported Sunday, in the latest such air raid.

The Iran-backed militia’s al-Masirah channel, citing the Houthis’ health ministry, reported two deaths and 11 injured in the “US aggression on Sanaa, the capital, and the governorate.”

The channel earlier said one person was killed in an airstrike on the governorate’s Bani Matar area, where a deadly US raid was reported a week ago.

Beyond Sanaa, the Houthis said Sunday that airstrikes also hit Yemen’s Marib and Amran provinces.

Earlier this week, the militia said that US strikes on the fuel port of Ras Issa killed at least 80 people and wounded 150 in the deadliest attack of Washington’s 15-month campaign against the Houthis.

The US military has hammered the Yemeni militia with near-daily airstrikes for the past month in a bid to stamp out their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Claiming solidarity with Palestinians, the militia began attacking the key maritime route and Israeli territory after the Gaza war began in October 2023.

The US strikes began in January 2024 but have multiplied under President Donald Trump, starting with an offensive that killed 53 people on March 15.

Houthi attacks on the Red Sea shipping route, which normally carries about 12 percent of global trade, have forced many companies into costly detours around the tip of southern Africa.
