Death toll from US attacks on Yemen rises to 19

Earlier, the Houthis reported that at least 13 civilians were killed and nine wounded in the US attacks on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV is now reporting that six others were killed in a US raid on the northern province of Saada.

The victims included four children and one woman.

Eleven others were also wounded.

US warplanes raze four areas in Yemen

So far, Ansar Allah (Houthi) media sources say that at least four areas have been razed by the US warplanes that targeted, in particular, a residential area north of the capital, Sanaa.

We are talking about a new escalation and a new wave of air attacks that have been ordered by the newly-appointed US President Donald Trump. He said that the new air attacks will be different from previous attacks.

The Ansar Allah (Houthis), during the previous speech, said they have imposed a ban on the Israeli maritime vessels in the Red Sea and the Arab Sea. They also said that this is just one step forward and that they have more options on the table.

So, they are warning that they could further escalate in case the Israeli siege on Gaza is to continue.
