ALBAWABA- A wave of intense U.S. airstrikes struck multiple locations in Yemen, with powerful and unprecedented explosions reported across the capital, Sana’a.
According to Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, American warplanes launched 12 raids on Al-Hafa Camp in the Al-Sab’een District near Jabal Nuqum, east of Sana’a, and additional strikes targeted the Al-Nahdeen area in the south of the capital.
The escalation extended beyond the capital. U.S. aircraft reportedly bombed several areas across the country, including Al-Hazm Directorate in Al-Jawf Governorate (eastern Yemen), and the Takhiya area in Sa'dah—the northern stronghold of the Houthi movement.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed the operations and released new footage of American fighter jets being armed with missiles and munitions before taking off to conduct strikes on Houthi-held territories.
These airstrikes follow a sustained campaign that resumed on March 15 and has since intensified.
Just hours before the attacks in Sana’a, U.S. forces launched dozens of air raids on Kamaran Island in Hodeidah Governorate, west Yemen, and on multiple sites in Al-Bayda Governorate in central Yemen.
The ongoing U.S. strikes come amid a broader effort to deter Houthi military operations in the Red Sea and surrounding regions. However, the escalating bombardment has led to hundreds of casualties, significant infrastructure damage, and worsening humanitarian conditions.
These latest developments add to the devastation of a decade-long war that began with the Houthi takeover of Sana’a in 2014 and the subsequent Saudi-led military intervention.
Today, more than 80% of Yemen’s population continues to suffer the consequences of the protracted conflict.
