According to Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, the strikes hit the capital Sanaa, and the northern province of Saada. In Sanaa, airstrikes targeted the Al-Sabeen and Bani Al-Harith districts, while four additional strikes were reported in the Kitaf and Al-Salem districts of Saada.

Al-Masirah said the attack in Bani Al-Harith injured eight people, including children, but did not clarify whether the casualties included deaths.
The United States did not officially claim responsibility for Saturday's strikes.
The escalation follows the resumption of US air operations on March 15, aimed at deterring Houthi attacks on vessels linked to the United States and Israel in the Red Sea.
The renewed campaign came after the Houthis announced on March 12 a ban on Israeli ships transiting the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Gulf of Aden, in protest against Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The group warned at the time that further steps could follow.

According to Houthis, the United States has conducted more than 1,000 airstrikes across Yemen since mid-March, as part of a broader American military campaign ordered by President Donald Trump.
Last month, Washington redesignated Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansarallah) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), reinstating a designation that the Biden administration had previously revoked to facilitate humanitarian aid flows into Yemen.
The US State Department said Houthi activities "threaten civilian security, US personnel in the Middle East, regional partners, and the stability of global maritime trade."

Israeli troops advance into Syria's Quneitra
Shafaq News – Damascus Israeli forces conducted a new ground maneuver inside Syria's Quneitra province on Tuesday, reinforcing their presence with armored patrols and military convoys near several key towns along the ceasefire line. According to eyewitnesses, an Israeli military patrol entered the town of Tarnajah in northern Quneitra, briefly halting in the main square before proceeding toward Hadar, a village near the UN-monitored ceasefire line in the northern countryside. Moreover, an Israeli military convoy was observed moving from Tel al-Ahmar al-Gharbi toward the outskirts of al-Asbah in the southern part of the province. These operations are part of a series of intensified Israeli activities in Quneitra over recent days, which have included reconnaissance missions along the disengagement line, the deployment of armored units near towns such as Hadar and Tarnajah, and the establishment of temporary checkpoints near Tel al-Ahmar and Tel al-Faras.

US pushes for Suwayda humanitarian corridor
Shafaq news – Washington / Damascus The White House is mediating between Syria and Israel to establish a humanitarian corridor to Syria's Suwayda province, Axios reported Tuesday. Citing officials familiar with the matter, the report noted that Syria raised concerns the corridor could be exploited for smuggling weapons, cautioning that Jordan's recent refusal to allow Israeli aid to pass through its territory prompted Israel to deliver assistance by air. Meanwhile, the Syrian foreign minister is scheduled to meet Israeli officials in Paris, with US Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack attending, to discuss steps toward implementing the corridor. Earlier today, Syria, Jordan, and the United States agreed to form a joint working group aimed at enhancing security in Suwayda province. Participants further recognized the Syrian government's humanitarian efforts, including the restoration of essential services and accountability for those responsible for violations. Tensions in Suwayda have escalated in recent weeks amid clashes between Druze and Bedouin factions. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported at least 1,300 deaths. Despite a brokered ceasefire, violations involving mortars and heavy weapons continue. Several local and human rights organizations accuse the Syrian government of imposing a blockade on the province. Damascus denies these claims, maintaining that aid deliveries have proceeded without interruption.

UN Chief threatens Israeli army with sexual violence listing
Shafaq News – New York Israeli army could be included in an upcoming UN Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV), UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned, citing concerns over alleged violations against Palestinians. The annual SRSV report, compiled by the UN Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, documents such abuses committed in armed conflicts. In a letter to Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon yesterday, Guterres revealed that 'credible information of violations by Israeli armed and security forces, perpetrated against Palestinians in several prisons, a detention center, and a military base,' adding that Israel's 'consistent denial of access to United Nations monitors' has hindered a definitive assessment of patterns and trends. Guterres urged Israel to take 'necessary measures to ensure immediate cessation of all acts of sexual violence.' In a post on X, Danon said he had received 'an unusual letter' from Guterres containing 'serious accusations against the State of Israel for sexual violence against Palestinian detainees,' which he described as 'baseless and based on biased publications.' היום נשלח אליי מכתב חריג ממזכ״ל האו״ם, אנטוניו גוטרש, המפיץ האשמה חמורה נגד מדינת ישראל ״על אלימות מינית נגד עצירים פלסטינים״. המזכ״ל בחר שוב לאמץ האשמות חסרות בסיס, הנשענות על פרסומים מגמתיים. על האו״ם להתמקד בפשעי המלחמה המזעזעים של חמאס ובשחרור כל החטופים באופן מיידי. ישראל… — Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון (@dannydanon) August 12, 2025 In March, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported that Israel had increasingly used sexual, reproductive, and other forms of gender-based violence against Palestinians, framing it as part of a broader attempt to erode their right to self-determination.
