31 Houthis as US fighter jets bomb Yemen

US fighter jets have carried out a series of air raids across Yemen, killing at least 31 people.

The US attacks, which began on Saturday and continued into the early hours of Sunday, on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, as well as areas in Saada and al-Bayda killed 31 people and wounded 101, according to the ministry of health.

The attacks were carried out after President Donald Trump warned the Houthi group not to attack ships passing through the Red Sea.

The US raids, the most significant military action since Trump’s return to power in January, came after Yemen’s Houthis threatened to resume raids on Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea over Israel’s blockade on Gaza.

Earlier, spokesperson for the ministry of health Anis al-Asbahi said that most of the casualties were “children and women”.
