U.S. Airstrikes Target Yemeni Capital as Conflict Escalates
Recent airstrikes in Sana'a and other areas reflect ongoing tensions in the Yemeni conflict.
On March 23, 2025, reports emerged from media associated with the Houthi movement that U.S. airstrikes targeted the capital city of Sana'a during the evening.
Initial reports did not provide information regarding casualties from the strikes.
The Houthi media stated that the airstrikes hit a residential building in the Asher neighborhood of the Ma'in district in Sana'a.
The Pentagon has not released any official statements regarding the airstrikes in Yemen.
This latest military action follows a series of U.S. airstrikes executed less than 24 hours earlier, which targeted the Majzar district in Marib Governorate and the Al Hudaydah International Airport on March 22. The Houthi movement reported that five airstrikes targeted Majzar and noted that three additional airstrikes struck Al Hudaydah International Airport.
Houthi attacks had previously ceased following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel on January 19, 2025. However, the Houthis resumed their offensive operations a week prior to the latest airstrikes, pledging to intensify attacks as long as Israeli military operations against Gaza continue.
Since the escalation of hostilities over the past week, U.S. strikes against Houthi positions mark the first such military actions following President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025. Houthi sources claim that these airstrikes have resulted in over 70 fatalities and more than 100 injuries, including women and children.
In addition to ground assaults, the Houthis have reportedly launched several missiles targeting Israeli positions amid the renewed conflict following Israel's breach of the ceasefire with Hamas on March 19, which led to resumed bombardments on Gaza.
