Egypt Daily News – Yemeni media reported that U.S. warplanes launched over 100 intense airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and several other governorates on Friday night, resulting in injuries among civilians. Al-Masirah TV, which is affiliated with the Houthi group (Ansar Allah), reported that “U.S. aggression targeted the Jarbane area in the Sanhan district of Sanaa with four airstrikes,” but did not provide further details.
The channel added that other U.S. airstrikes targeted the Jarbane area in the Sanhan district with another four strikes, while a civilian was injured in a bombing that targeted the Suf area in the Bani Hashish district.
In Saada governorate, the Al-Asaid area in the Kitaf district was hit by five U.S. airstrikes, and two strikes targeted the Al-Salm district in the same governorate.
Hodeidah governorate was struck by three airstrikes, and bombings also targeted areas in the Al-Humaydat district.
U.S. warplanes launched eight airstrikes on the Black Mountain in the Harf Sufyan district, and five other strikes targeted the communications network in the same area, causing a disruption in services.
The White House stated, “We have carried out strikes targeting more than 100 Houthi sites, and initial assessments indicate that the impact on the targets was significant. Our strikes targeted Houthi leaders, air defense systems, command centers, and weapons manufacturing and storage facilities.”
The White House also pointed out that “operations against the Houthis will continue until we restore freedom of navigation. We will not allow any terrorist force to prevent our ships from sailing freely,” according to the White House briefing.
Sanaa has been witnessing continuous U.S. air patrols, with explosions heard in the city center.
On Thursday, two people were killed, and two others were injured in four U.S. airstrikes targeting a location in the Khawlan district of Sanaa governorate.
This escalation comes amid continued tensions in the region, with U.S. forces carrying out airstrikes on Houthi positions, alongside increasing confrontations in the Red Sea and Yemen.
