At least three US airstrikes hit Saada province in northern Yemen

On the night of April 30 to May 1, the US Army attacked targets in the Kitaf area of ​​Saada province in northern Yemen.

At least three airstrikes were carried out, per Al Masirah.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not yet commented on this information.

Throughout April 2025, the United States has continued its military operations against Houthi positions in northern Yemen, as part of its broader campaign to secure Red Sea shipping routes. CENTCOM previously confirmed multiple air and missile strikes on Houthi radar systems, drone launch sites, and weapons storage facilities following repeated drone and missile attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have claimed that their actions are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, while Washington and its allies accuse the group of threatening international navigation and regional stability.

Despite international calls for de-escalation, the U.S. military presence in the region remains robust, with naval forces and air assets continuing patrols and strike operations as needed. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts led by the United Nations have stalled, with no significant breakthroughs in reviving Yemen’s peace process.
