Deadly US airstrikes rock Houthi-controlled Sana'a, four killed

The US Air Force has carried out a series of airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, which remains under the control of the Houthi movement Ansar Allah.

The airstrikes targeted a residential building in the city, resulting in at least four deaths and leaving two others injured, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.

In addition to the residential strikes, US military aircraft also targeted Houthi weapons warehouses located in Sana'a.

Earlier, Yemen's Houthi rebels said that there were fresh US strikes against them, with the number of dead rising to 53, including five children.  

Targets in the Al Jaouf and Hudaydah areas were hit, according to the rebel group, while the US Central Command said its forces had continued operations.   The US launched what it called a "decisive and powerful" wave of air strikes on Houthi targets as part of efforts to stop Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
