Strikes hit Yemen’s capital, residents say
Strikes have hit a Houthi stronghold in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, three residents told the Reuters news agency.
The attacks hit a neighbourhood close to the capital’s airport, the residents said.
The strikes are the latest in this round of US-launched attacks on areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthis, who said last week that they were resuming strikes on Red Sea shipping to support Palestinians in Gaza. The Houthis have also targeted the US military in the Red Sea.
The US attacks on Yemen have mainly killed civilians.
Houthi media confirms strikes on capital
Al Masirah, a TV channel affiliated with Yemen’s Houthi rebels, has confirmed what we reported moments ago, attributing the strikes on Sanaa to the US.
Iran must ‘immediately’ stop sending supplies to Houthis: Trump
Iran must “immediately” stop sending military supplies to the Houthis, Donald Trump has said.
In a post on his Truth Social media platform, Trump added that US strikes on the Houthis “will get progressively worse” and that “they will be completely annihilated”.
“Iran must stop the sending of these Supplies IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote. “Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly.”
Trump had previously threatened to hold Iran responsible for attacks carried out by the Houthis in Yemen, while he also escalated US attacks on them.
