Yemen’s Ministry of Health and Environment has announced that a US aggression against civilian infrastructure and residential buildings in Ma’in District, Sana’a, killed one civilian and injured 13 others.

According to preliminary figures, the injured include three children and two women, following the US strike in the Asr neighborhood, located in the western outskirts of Sana’a.

The ministry condemned the aggression, holding the US fully responsible for the deliberate targeting of civilians and residential areas.

“Targeting civilians, civilian objects is a full-fledged war crime and a blatant violation of international laws and treaties,” the ministry stated.

Earlier on Saturday, US forces stationed in the Red Sea launched a new round of airstrikes on Yemen’s northern Sa’ada province, striking areas near the provincial capital.

Yemen’s al-Masirah TV reported that three US airstrikes hit the Red Sea coastal airport late Saturday, while additional strikes were carried out on the port of Salif in Hudaydah province.

US warplanes also launched five strikes on the Majzar district in central Ma’rib province, and further attacks targeted Sahar and Kitaf wa al-Boqe’e districts in northwestern Sa’ada.

Between Wednesday and Friday, al-Masirah reported similar attacks, while US Central Command confirmed “continuous operations” against Yemen beginning midweek.

On March 15, US airstrikes killed 53 people in what marked the first wave of aggression against Yemen since US President Donald Trump resumed office.

The US aggression against Yemen came as Sana’a vowed to target Israeli-linked vessels after the Tel Aviv regime resumed its blockade on Gaza, halting the entry of vital aid into the Strip.

In a sign of further escalation, the US has announced plans to deploy a second aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, to the region.

Commenting Saturday night, Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said that while Washington views aircraft carriers as symbols of power, they have now become “a burden and a danger” to the US itself.
