Yemen's Houthi administration on Monday blamed Washington for around 10 strikes in and around the capital Sanaa after a missile fired by the group struck the area of Israel's main airport.
The Ansar Allah-run Saba news agency said the strikes included two targeting Arbaeen street in the capital as well as one on the airport road, blaming them on "American aggression".
The rebels' health ministry said 14 people were wounded in the Sawan neighbourhood, according to Saba.
The Houthis, who control much of Yemen including the capital Sanaa, have imposed a naval blockade using missiles and drones targeting Israel and Red Sea shipping throughout the Gaza war, saying they act in solidarity with Palestinians.
