ISTANBUL (AA) – US warplanes launched two fresh airstrikes in northern Yemen on Sunday, the Houthi group said.
The Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV said the two strikes targeted Khab wa Ash Sha’af district in Al-Jawf province.
No details were yet available about casualties or damage from the attacks.
There was no immediate comment from the US on the Houthi report.
The US resumed its airstrikes on Yemen on March 15 after President Donald Trump ordered the military to launch a “major assault” on Houthi forces, threatening to “wipe them out completely.”
The Houthi group, however, defied the threats and continued to launch missiles and drones at Israeli targets and ships bound for Israel in the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where more than 52,500 people, mostly women and children, have been killed since October 2023.
