Cost of bombing Yemen for three weeks to hit $1bn: Report

CNN, citing US officials on Friday, said the cost of the US war on Yemen since 15 March is about to hit the $1bn mark - and it hasn't even had that much impact. 

Members of the Trump administration cabinet had disclosed in a leaked group chat last month that one senior-ranking member of the Houthis was killed when the US bombed an entire apartment building. 

Beyond that, the Pentagon has not identified the areas that are being targeted in the nightly bombings, and the Houthis are understood to have fortified their weapons bunkers, CNN reported. 

The Yemeni health ministry has said the death toll so far exceeds 90 people.
