Fresh airstrikes in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, have taken a tragic toll. Local medical sources confirmed that at least 4 people – 2 men and 2 women – have lost their lives, while 23 others, including women and children, have been injured. The strike hit a house in the bustling Shu'ub district, leaving several residences severely damaged.
Rescue teams are on the ground, combing through rubble in search of survivors. Meanwhile, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported three additional airstrikes on Mount Al-Aswad in the Bani Matar district; fortunately, no casualties were recorded there.
Earlier on Sunday, residents in the western province of Hodeidah noticed U.S. strikes targeting areas such as Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, with no injuries documented from that incident. This series of attacks is part of a renewed U.S. military campaign, initiated on March 15, aimed at degrading Houthi capabilities by targeting air defense systems, command hubs, and weapons storage sites.
The Houthi movement, which currently controls Sanaa and vast parts of northern Yemen, has vowed to continue its actions against what it states are Israeli-linked commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, citing restrictions on Gaza aid as justification. This ongoing conflict underscores the precariousness faced by civilians caught in the crossfire.
For many young, globally connected readers, this incident is a somber reminder of the extensive human impact that conflicts can have. Stay tuned for further updates as the situation evolves. 🙏
