Additional strikes hit Hajjah in northwest Yemen, marking a continuation of US military action against Houthi-controlled areas, with dozens killed and hundreds wounded, including women and children.

ALBAWABA- The US launched new airstrikes on Yemen, targeting Houthi strongholds. Houthi media reported four raids on Al-Asayed in Sa’dah and a second strike on an iron factory in Hodeida within 24 hours, leaving it completely destroyed. At least 10 people were killed in the latest attacks.

Houthi-affiliated media reported that the US carried out two airstrikes on the Al-Ahly Club building in the Mina Directorate of Hodeida.

Additional strikes hit Hajjah in northwest Yemen, marking a continuation of US military action against Houthi-controlled areas, with dozens killed and hundreds wounded, including women and children.

The strikes came just hours after Yemen’s Houthis launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel's Nevatim Air Base, claiming a direct hit in response to ongoing Israeli massacres in Gaza. 

The escalation raises questions over Washington’s true motives—whether to ensure maritime security or to support Israel against the Houthis.
