As a result of several US bombings of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, according to the Houthi-controlled Ministry of Health, at least 12 people were killed and 30 were injured. According to Houthi information, US military aircraft dropped bombs on a market and the popular Farwah neighborhood, Al-Sha'ub district, in the center of Sana'a, the capital of Yemen.
The incident occurred a few days after airstrikes carried out by the US last Thursday night on the Ras Issa oil port in western Yemen. As a result of the bombing of the Ras Issa oil port, dozens were killed and 170 were injured. Significant damage was inflicted on fuel storage infrastructure, leading to fuel leakage into the Red Sea.
In addition to the explosions in Sana'a, which has been under Houthi control since 2014, airstrikes were reported on Sunday evening in the provinces of Marib, Hodeidah, and Saada, according to the Saba news agency.

The Yemeni government is mobilizing 80,000 troops for an offensive on the strategic city of Hodeidah and an advance towards the capital Sana'a. This is the largest military campaign since 2014.
