ISTANBUL

US warplanes conducted airstrikes on Yemen, targeting the provinces of Marib, Amran, and Al Hudaydah, the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV channel reported on Friday.

The report said four airstrikes hit Madghal district in Marib province, while two targeted Harf Sufyan district in Amran province.

It added that a series of airstrikes targeted Kamaran Island and the Al-Salif district in Al Hudaydah province.

No information on casualties or damage from the strikes was provided.

The US has carried out more than 1,000 airstrikes in Yemen since March 15, killing 217 civilians and injuring over 430, mostly women and children, based on official Houthi data that excludes losses among their forces.

Last month, US President Donald Trump said that he had ordered “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthi group and later threatened to “completely annihilate them.”

The Houthis have targeted ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023 in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where nearly 51,400 people have been killed in a brutal Israeli assault.

The group halted attacks when a ceasefire in Gaza was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas but resumed them after Israel renewed airstrikes on the enclave last month.
