SANAA, Yemen/ANKARA (AA) - The Houthi group announced on Friday that three civilians were injured in an overnight US airstrike on Yemen's capital, Sanaa.
The Ministry of Health of the Houthi-controlled government, which is not internationally recognized, issued a statement confirming the late Thursday night attack and casualties.
The Houthi statement condemned the US airstrike as a "flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and conventions."
On Wednesday, the Houthi group claimed that the US had carried out 1,300 airstrikes and naval bombardments on Yemen since mid-March, killing and injuring hundreds of civilians.
In mid-March, the US resumed airstrikes against Yemen following President Donald Trump's orders to launch a "major attack" on Houthi forces.
However, the group ignored Trump’s threats and responded by resuming missile and drone strikes on Israeli sites and vessels in the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestinians in Gaza.
Earlier on Friday, the Houthi group claimed to have successfully targeted the Israeli Ramat David Airbase with a hypersonic ballistic missile, claiming the strike hit its intended target.
However, the Israeli army disputed the claim, stating that it had successfully intercepted the missile.
