Fresh reports from Sanaa, Yemen reveal that U.S. air strikes on a crowded market have tragically claimed 12 lives and injured at least 30 people. The attack struck the well-known Farwah market in the bustling Shu'ub neighborhood on Sunday evening, leaving the city in shock. 😔
Rescue teams are working through the rubble, searching for survivors amid a series of strikes that have hit various locations in and around Sanaa.

For a generation that’s always connected and aware of global shifts, this unfolding situation is a stark reminder of how geopolitical tensions directly impact everyday lives.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor this developing story and its broader implications on regional stability.
