ALBAWABA- The US military has intensified its airstrikes on Yemen, targeting key locations in Hodeidah, Sa'dah, and Sana'a. Houthi-affiliated media reported that US warplanes struck Ras Issa in Al-Salif, Hodeidah, killing one person and injuring another. 

Additional airstrikes hit eastern Sa'dah, escalating the already dire humanitarian crisis.

In one of the most devastating attacks, US strikes destroyed the Al-Senif water reservoir and the Water Resources Administration building in Mansouriya, cutting off water supply for over 50,000 residents, according to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV. 

The bombings have compounded Yemen’s humanitarian struggles, worsened by the US decision to cut aid under former President Donald Trump.

The US military began its bombing campaign on 15 March, following Yemen's Ansar Allah-led government's announcement of renewed attacks on Israeli-linked vessels in response to Israel's blockade of Gaza.

 Houthi-run Saba news agency also reported that US forces have bombed a cancer hospital twice in northern Yemen, accusing Washington of committing “full-fledged war crimes” by targeting civilian infrastructure and causing dozens of casualties across multiple governorates.
