ALBAWABA- The United States launched four airstrikes on the Al-Katheeb area in the Mina district, along with attacks on Al-Asayed in Al-Safraa, Sa'dah, as part of its ongoing military campaign against Yemen, according to Ansar Allah-affiliated, Houthi media.

The U.S. airstrikes, which have continued since Sunday, follow President Donald Trump's announcement of a "decisive operation" against the Houthis after designating them a global terrorist organization.
Washington cited the group's military actions in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, as well as its blockade of Israeli-bound vessels in support of Gaza, as threats to maritime security and Israel, its closest ally in the region.
The recent wave of strikes has hit multiple Yemeni governorates, including Sana'a, Hodeida, Taiz, Amran, Hajja, Al-Bayda, Dhamar, Ma'rib, and Al-Jawf.
The bombings have resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, including women and children, while also causing widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure.
On Wednesday, U.S. airstrikes on a wedding hall under construction in Sana'a left seven women and two children wounded, further devastating the surrounding neighborhood.
