Yemen: US Airstrikes Kill 31, Including Women And Children
Trump officials are threatening more airstrikes as the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, are vowing a response
A major round of US airstrikes that hit Yemen on Saturday killed at least 31 people, mostly women and children, Yemen’s Health Ministry said on Sunday .
Another 101 were wounded by the US bombing, and the Health Ministry said all the casualties were civilians, while the US is claiming it killed “multiple” leaders of Yemen’s Houthis, officially known as Ansar Al lah.
A total of 40 US airstrikes were reported to hit Yemen, primarily focusing on the northern Saada governorate . Strikes also hit the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the governorates of Taiz, Ibb, Dhamar, Al Bayda, Marib, and Hajjah. Targets that were reported hit included power stations, residential areas and homes, and Houthi military sites. The strikes marked the first time the US bombed Yemen under the new Trump administration.
President Trump announced the start of the bombing campaign on Saturday and said the Houthis must stop their attacks on shipping and US warships. However, Ansar Allah hasn’t targeted any ships in months since it ceased attacks once a ceasefire deal was reached in Gaza back in January.
Last week, the Houthis announced that the blockade on Israeli ships was coming back into effect in response to Israel cutting off all aid shipments in Gaza, a blatant violation of the ceasefire deal, but the group hasn’t launched any attacks since then. The Houthis did recently shoot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone that was flying over Yemen or near its coast.
