SANAA, Yemen — Iran-backed Houthi rebels say that a series of US strikes on territory under their control, including the Yemeni capital Sanaa, have wounded at least eight people.
“Eight citizens, including two children, were wounded when the American enemy targeted a residential district” west of Al-Rawda in Sanaa, the Houthi-run Saba news agency says.
It cites the Houthi administration’s health ministry as the source for what it said was a provisional toll.
An AFP correspondent in Sanaa reported earlier Saturday having heard explosions.
The Houthis, who control large parts of the war-torn country, also report strikes in other parts of the country, including their stronghold, Saada, in the north.
They say the fuel port of Ras Issa in the western Hodeida region — where they say 80 people were killed in strikes just over a week ago — has also been hit.
