Yemeni Civilians Martyred in Escalating US Airstrikes
In the latest escalation of the US military campaign against Yemen, at least three civilians were killed in new airstrikes on the capital Sana'a on Thursday. This brings the total civilian death toll from such attacks to 107 since mid-March, according to the Yemeni health ministry. The state-run Al-Masirah television reported that the strikes hit the Al-Sabeen district, citing the health ministry. While the final death toll has not been determined, initial reports indicate three civilians were killed and several others wounded. Death toll from US airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeida rise to 12https:// — Press TV 🔻 (@PressTV) April 9, 2025 The US bombing raids also targeted the Bani Hushaysh district northeast of Sana'a and Kamaran Island in the Red Sea. According to the ministry, the US air campaign has claimed the lives of 107 civilians, including women and children, and injured 223 others between March 15 and April 9. The US signaled on Monday that it plans to intensify its air offensive against Yemen, which it has portrayed as an effort to ensure freedom of navigation in regional waters. However, Yemen has rejected US claims that it poses a threat to international shipping, stating that it is only targeting vessels with Israeli ties. Despite the escalating US airstrikes, Yemeni forces have continued to carry out missile and drone attacks against American warships in the Red Sea. On Wednesday, the Yemeni army said it conducted operations against an 'Israeli' military target in Tel Aviv and the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier using a Yaffa drone. The army also announced that Yemeni forces had shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone engaged in 'hostile missions' in Yemeni airspace. The Yemeni military vowed to continue its retaliatory operations in support of the Palestinian cause until the Gaza conflict ends. Anis al-Asbahi, a spokesperson for Yemen's health ministry, condemned the US aggression, stating that they 'reveal the brutality of this savage aggression' and called on the international community to condemn the US aggression against Yemeni civilians and infrastructure.

Yemen Houthi media says US strikes on Hodeida killed 10
Yemen's Houthi media said on Wednesday the number of people killed in an airstrike on Hodeida the day before that they blamed on the United States has risen to 10 people. 'The death toll rose to 10 as a result of the American enemy's massacre in a residential neighborhood' of Hodeida, the Houthis' Al-Masirah TV station said. Health ministry spokesman Anis al-Asbahi had earlier said four children and two women had been killed. Houthi media said the strike had targeted a residential area in the Red Sea port city. On Tuesday night, an AFP journalist heard three loud blasts in succession. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group had downed a US drone, targeted an Israeli military site in the Tel Aviv area and launched drones at aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. Houthi-held areas of Yemen have seen near-daily strikes since Washington launched an air campaign against the Iran-backed Houthis on March 15 to force them to stop threatening vessels in key maritime routes. Since then, the Houthis have also launched attacks targeting US military ships and Israel, claiming to be acting in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis began targeting ships transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as Israeli territory, after the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, later pausing their attacks during a January ceasefire. Israel cut off all supplies to Gaza at the start of March, and resumed its offensive on the Palestinian territory on March 18, ending the short-lived truce. The new US campaign followed Houthi threats to resume attacks on vessels over Israel's Gaza blockade. The Houthi attacks crippled the vital Red Sea route, which normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic, forcing many companies to make a much longer detour around the tip of southern Africa.

Yemen rebels say four killed in US strikes on west
HODEIDA, Yemen — Yemen's Huthi rebels on Tuesday said US strikes on the western province of Hodeida killed four people and wounded 13 others, a day after the group said it targeted Israel and US warships. "Four killed and 13 wounded in a preliminary toll of the victims of the flagrant American aggression," the rebels' health ministry spokesman Anis al-Asbahi said in a post on X. The Huthis' Al-Masirah TV channel had reported earlier on Tuesday "deaths and wounded in the US enemy's targeting" of the Al-Hawak district in Hodeida. It added that civil defence teams had rushed to the site and were working on putting out the fires and rescuing any survivors. An AFP journalist near the site of the strike heard the sound of three violent blasts in succession. Al-Masirah also reported a US strike on the communications network in the Amran province north of Sanaa, without providing further details.
