US launches fresh air attack on Yemen’s Saada province, stronghold of Houthi

The US military stationed in the Red Sea conducted fresh airstrikes on Yemen’s northern province of Saada. The strikes targeted the areas around the province’s namesake central city Saada, a stronghold of the Houthis. There were no reports of casualties. The airstrikes came a few hours after the Houthis claimed to have launched fresh attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea and the Ben Gurion airport in central Israel. The exchanges of fire took place amid an ongoing air campaign launched by US forces in mid-March against Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen. Saada province serves as the main stronghold of the Houthi group. The latest strikes mark the seventh consecutive day of US attacks on Houthi-controlled areas in northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.
