Dozens killed and wounded in US raids on a market and a residential neighborhood in Sana'a.






The Houthi-run Ministry of Health announced via the X platform that "the death toll from the US aggression on the popular market and neighborhood of Farwa has risen to 12 martyrs and 30 wounded, in a preliminary toll," stressing that "ambulance and civil defense teams are continuing their search and rescue efforts under the rubble."

Earlier, the ministry announced that three people were killed and 12 injured in the initial toll of the raids.

For its part, the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV reported that the raids caused "significant material damage to citizens' homes and shops," noting that the bombing occurred in areas densely populated with civilians. The channel broadcast images showing the remains of victims and widespread destruction, along with wounded people, including the elderly.

Early Monday morning, US warplanes launched four raids on the Sarwah district and two raids on the Al-Jawf district in Ma'rib Governorate (central Yemen), according to the same channel.

In northern Yemen, three airstrikes targeted Harf Sufyan district in Amran governorate, while four airstrikes hit the southern part of Saada governorate and a fifth hit Sahar district. US aircraft also launched an airstrike on Jabal al-Mahwit district.

As of 07:55 GMT, the US Department of Defense or any other official US agency had not issued a statement regarding these strikes, and the human losses and extent of damage in the targeted areas outside Sana'a are not yet known.

The Houthi group announced on Sunday that the United States was preparing to launch a ground military operation in Yemen, warning that such a move "threatens to destabilize the situation."

From March 15 to Sunday, the United States carried out hundreds of airstrikes on Yemen, killing 217 civilians and wounding 436 others, most of them children and women, according to official Houthi data that does not include casualties from the group's forces.

These raids come after US President Donald Trump ordered his country's military to launch a "major offensive" against the Houthi group, before threatening to "completely eliminate" them.

However, the group ignored Trump's threat and resumed bombing sites inside Israel and ships in the Red Sea heading to the country, in response to the occupation's resumption of its war of extermination against Palestinians in Gaza, which began on March 18.
