US large-scale attack on Yemen kills dozens

The United States launched a large-scale bombing campaign against Yemen's Houthis on Saturday, killing and wounding dozens. The US president warned that "hell will rain down upon" the group if it did not stop attacking international shipping.

At least 31 people were killed and 101 others wounded in the strikes, mostly women and children, Anis al-Asbahi, spokesperson for the Yemeni health ministry, said on Sunday.

Four children and a woman were killed in a strike that hit two houses in northern Saada province, Yemeni media reported. Footage shared on local media showed children and a woman among those being treated in a hospital emergency room.

The attack marks the biggest US military operation in the Middle East since Donald Trump took office. A US official told Reuters that the attacks on Yemen might continue for weeks.
