The strike was part of at least 15 U.S. air raids on Houthi-linked sites across the country in the past 24 hours. The strikes included eight in Sana’a, four in Al-Jawf, and three in Marib.

ALBAWABA- U.S. airstrikes have intensified across Yemen, leaving dozens dead and escalating an already volatile situation in the region. 

On Monday, American aircraft bombed Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, west of Yemen, as part of a broader wave of attacks targeting Houthi-controlled areas.

U.S. forces also launched a new wave of airstrikes on Yemen, targeting the Raghwan and Madghal districts in the northeastern Ma’rib Governorate. 

According to media affiliated with Ansar Allah, the latest round of U.S. aggression involved 15 air raids across the two districts. 

One of the deadliest strikes hit the Al-Sawari ceramic and marble factory in the Bani Matar district on the outskirts of the capital, Sana’a. 

According to the Houthi-run Yemeni Ministry of Health, at least 32 people were killed and 10 others injured in the bombing. Officials warned that the death toll could rise as rescue efforts continue.

The strike was part of at least 15 U.S. air raids on Houthi-linked sites across the country in the past 24 hours. The strikes included eight in Sana’a, four in Al-Jawf, and three in Marib.

Notably, four missiles reportedly hit a Houthi military camp in Khab and Sha’af in Al-Jawf province—marking the first such targeting in that region.

In response, the Houthis released footage claiming they shot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Hajjah governorate in northwest Yemen. 

They also reported launching two ballistic missiles toward Israel, continuing their declared military support for Palestinians amid the war on Gaza.
