THE United States bombed sites across Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen today.

One attack in the capital, Sanaa, killed at least one person and wounded more than a dozen others.

The US strikes entered their 10th day without a sign of stopping, part of a campaign by President Donald Trump targeting the Yemenis for threatening maritime trade and Israel.

So far, the US has not offered any specifics on the sites it is striking, though President Trump’s National Security Adviser Mike Waltz claimed the attacks have “taken out key Houthi leadership, including their head missileer.”

That’s something so far that’s not been acknowledged by the Yemenis.

“We’ve hit their headquarters,” Mr Waltz told US TV channel CBS’s Face the Nation programme on Sunday. “We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons factories and even some of their over-the-water drone production facilities.”

Footage released by the Houthis of the Sanaa strike that killed one showed the rubble of a collapsed building and pools of blood staining the grey dust covering the ground.

The Yemenis also described US air strikes targeting sites around the city of Saada, the Red Sea port city of Hodeida and Marib province, home to oil and gas fields still under the control of allies to Yemen’s rival government.

The Houthis control most of Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, and some of the western and northern areas close to Saudi Arabia.

They have targeted more than 100 merchant vessels with Israeli links, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors during their campaign targeting ships from November 2023 until January of this year. They have also launched attacks targeting US warships.

Though they have not attacked since January, a threat to resume operations because of Israel’s ceasefire breaches prompted the current US bombardment.
