US strikes kill at least nine in Yemen

At least nine people were killed in strikes on Yemen's capital on Saturday, Houthi rebels said after US President Donald Trump announced an attack on the group.

Another nine people were wounded in the first US strikes on the Houthis, who have attacked Israel and Red Sea shipping throughout the Gaza war, since Trump took office in January.

The rebels' Al-Masirah TV station said an "American-British aggression raided a residential neighbourhood in the Shuub district" in Sanaa.

In a post on social media, Trump vowed to "use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective", citing the Houthis' threats against Red Sea shipping.
