Yemen's Houthis say US strikes on Sanaa kill at least 12

Yemen's Houthis said early on Monday that US air strikes on Sanaa killed at least 12 people and wounded 30, with a military spokesperson later claiming attacks on US aircraft carriers and Israel.

The Houthi-run Saba news agency cited the health ministry as saying the dead and injured had come from overnight strikes "by the American enemy" on a market and a residential zone in Sanaa's Farwa district.

Other raids were reported late Sunday in the central province of Marib, Hodeidah in the west and Saada in the north, Saba said.

The Houthis said they started missile attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. US raids started in January 2024 but have been stepped up since President Donald Trump took office this year.
