United States air strikes have hit more than 40 locations across Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen, including in the capital, Sanaa, according to local media affiliated with the rebel group.
Multiple residential homes and shops were damaged in the US attacks before dawn on Friday in the provinces of Saada, Marib, al-Jawf and Hodeidah, reported the Houthi-linked Al Masirah broadcaster.
Other targets included the Sanaa International Airport, which is used for both civilian and military traffic, and mountainous terrain north of Sanaa in Amran, where military camps and other installations are believed to be.
At least seven people were injured across the country in the US strikes, including at least one in Sanaa, Al Masirah reported. It also said that communication networks went down after the attacks.
The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM), which now has authority from the White House to strike offensively in Yemen without pre-approval, did not immediately acknowledge conducting any raids.
The new campaign of air strikes, which the Houthis say has killed at least 57 people, started after the rebels threatened to restart targeting ships in the Red Sea over Israel blocking aid entering the Gaza Strip for almost a month.
