US bombs Yemen’s Sanaa, Kamaran: Report

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV is reporting that US forces have bombed the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, as well as the Kamaran Island in the Red Sea.

The channel said US forces launched a series of air attacks on the city of Sanaa, and six attacks on al-Jumaimah area of the Bani Hashish district and Jarban area of Sanhan district.

There were at least two raids on the island of Kamaran, which is part of the Hodeidah province, it added.

The US has been bombing Yemen since March 15, after the Houthis – who control most of the country – threatened to resume attacks on Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea over the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

The offensive has killed more than 60 people.


More US raids reported in Yemen

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV says US forces have carried out more attacks on the provinces of Sanaa and Marib.

In Sanaa, US forces launched raids on al-Jumaimah in Bani Hashish district as well as Jarban in Sanhan district. In Marib, US forces carried out five raids on the Majzar district, two on Kofal in Sirwah district, and two more on al-Jawba.


Houthis says 2 killed in US attacks on Hodeidah

The Houthi-run Ministry of Health in Yemen reports that the latest “blatant American aggression” on the Amin Moqbel area in the port city of Hodeidah has killed at least two people and wounded 13.

Multiple raids hit the “residential” district, so most of the casualties were civilians, it said in a statement.

The ministry condemned the US air strikes and said it considers attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure “a full-fledged war crime and a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions”.

Houthi-run media reported that US attacks hit a telecommunications network in Shawa area located in the Amran governorate of Yemen as well.
