US warplanes launched six airstrikes Wednesday targeting Yemen’s Saada governorate, said the Houthi group.
“Six American enemy airstrikes targeted the Sahlin area in Al-Salem district,” the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV channel said on X.
No information was immediately available regarding casualties or the extent of material damage.
The US has not released a statement so far on the strikes.
The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where more than 51,300 people have been killed in a brutal Israeli assault since October 2023.
The group halted attacks when a ceasefire in Gaza was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas but resumed them after Israel renewed airstrikes on the enclave last month.
