SANAA (AFP) – Yemen’s Houthi rebels said yesterday that overnight air strikes on Hodeida province killed four people in an attack they blamed on the United States (US).
“The casualty toll of the American aggression targeting the Water Management building in… Hodeida governorate… rose to four martyrs and three wounded,” said Houthi Health Ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi, updating an earlier toll of three dead.
Houthi media had reported US strikes on areas controlled by the rebels, including water infrastructure in Hodeida and three strikes in the northwestern region of Hajjah.
Strikes also hit the group’s northern stronghold of Saada.
The US has not confirmed it carried out these strikes.
But US President Donald Trump has vowed that attacks on Yemen’s Houthis would continue until they are no longer a threat to shipping.
