US Airstrikes Kill 1, Injure 13 in Yemen’s Capital Amid Renewed Offensive

The United States launched air raids across Yemen overnight, killing at least one person and injuring 13 others in the capital, Sanaa, as part of an ongoing military offensive against the Houthis.

The latest airstrike on Monday follows the renewal of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, which the group says is in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

Civilian Casualties Reported

A Houthi-run Health Ministry spokesperson, Anees Alasbahi, confirmed that the attack on a residential building in Sanaa’s Aser area resulted in one fatality and injuries to 13 people, including three children.

Footage released by the Houthis showed a collapsed building and pools of blood, alleging that civilians were deliberately targeted.

US Expands Airstrikes Across Yemen

In addition to Sanaa, the Houthis reported airstrikes in Saada, Hodeidah, and Marib, areas with strategic importance for Yemen’s ongoing conflict.

The US has not confirmed specific locations but has acknowledged that CENTCOM is conducting strikes on multiple Houthi targets daily. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz stated that the strikes have "taken out key Houthi leadership" and destroyed weapons factories and drone production facilities.

Houthi Response & Ongoing Red Sea Tensions

The Houthis dismissed US claims, stating that the attacks are primarily targeting civilians, rather than military sites.

“The images, testimonies, and scenes confirm the US is deliberately attacking civilians,” the Houthi government said.

Despite the US air raids, the Houthis remain defiant, vowing to continue supporting Palestinians in Gaza and even extend support to Lebanon and Hezbollah if necessary.

Conclusion

The conflict in Yemen has escalated further with the US intensifying its military campaign. As both sides remain firm in their positions, tensions in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are expected to persist, affecting global trade routes.
