American warplanes hit Houthi stronghold in Saada province, according to reports
The Houthi group said on Tuesday evening that US airstrikes hit Saada province in northern Yemen.
According to the group's Al-Masirah TV channel, the attack involved two air raids targeting Sahar district, a key Houthi stronghold.
The report did not provide details on specific targets, casualties, or material damage resulting from the strikes.
There was no immediate comment from the US on the report.
At least 83 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in US airstrikes on Yemen since last Thursday, according to Houthi figures.
Last week, US President Donald Trump said he had ordered a “major offensive” against the Houthis and later threatened to “wipe them out completely.”
The Houthi group has been attacking Israeli-linked ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones since late 2023, disrupting global trade for what it said was a show of solidarity with the Gaza Strip.
The group halted its attacks when a ceasefire was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas, but it threatened to resume the attacks when Israel blocked all humanitarian aid into Gaza on March 2.
