At least three people were wounded early on April 24 when another wave of United States strikes hit areas controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen.
The Houthi-run Health Ministry said in a statement that a strike hit the Eastern Geraf area in the capital, Sanaa, wounding one person and causing material damage. Two more people were wounded in separate strikes in the northern Saada province, the heartland of the Houthis, according to the Saba News Agency, which is run by the group.
In total, nine U.S. strikes targeted Sanaa and ten others targeted Saada in the early morning, per the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, said that it continues to conduct strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
Four videos posted by the command to the X social network showed fighter jets, including stealth F-35Cs and electronic warfare EA-18Gs, taking off from the aircraft carriers USS Carl Vinson and USS Harry S. Truman to attack Houthi targets in Yemen.
CENTCOM resumed strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on March 15 on orders from President Donald Trump, who said that the large-scale operation was launched in response to the group’s renewed attacks on Israel-affiliated shipping in the Red Sea.
Since then, some 1,000 strikes have hit Yemen, killing 217 civilians and injuring over 430, mostly women and children, based on information provided by the Houthi-run Health Ministry that excludes losses among the group’s forces.
The Houthis continue to launch attacks, despite taking some losses. Just a day earlier, the group launched two strikes against Israel, shot down another MQ-9 combat drone over Yemen and attacked both USS Carl Vinson and USS Harry S. Truman.
