Sanaa: The death toll from Sunday's US airstrikes on a market and a neighborhood in Yemen's capital Sanaa has risen to 12, with 30 others injured, the Houthi group reported on Monday.

According to Anadolu Agency, the Houthi-run Health Ministry stated that the airstrikes late Sunday targeted the Farwa neighborhood and market in Sanaa. Rescue teams were continuing operations to search for victims beneath the rubble, with the ministry cautioning that the death toll was preliminary and could increase.

Meanwhile, Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV reported that US warplanes launched multiple air raids early Monday across northern and central Yemen. The reports detailed that six strikes targeted Marib province, three hit Amran, five struck Saada, and one targeted Al-Mahwit. There were no casualties or material losses reported from the US raids on Monday, nor any statement issued by the US.

US President Donald Trump had ordered "decisive and powerful military action" against the Houthi group in mid-March, later threatening to "completely annihilate them." Since November 2023, the Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The conflict in Gaza has seen more than 51,000 victims killed in an Israeli assault lasting over 18 months.

The Houthi group had halted attacks when a ceasefire in Gaza was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas. However, they resumed the assaults after Israel renewed airstrikes on the enclave last month.
