U.S. airstrikes hit Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen

The United States launched more airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and the coastal city of Hodeida over the weekend.

This comes less than two days after a strike on the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea coast.

On Saturday, local time, U.S. forces conducted 13 airstrikes targeting sites controlled by the Houthis Sanaa and Hodeida, including an airport and a port facility. The airstrikes resulted in at least 3 deaths and 4 injuries.

This follows an attack on April 17 on the Ras Isa oil terminal, which reportedly killed at least 80 people and injured more than 150 others.

The U.S. military says these strikes aim to degrade the Houthis' offensive capabilities and protect international shipping routes in the Red Sea.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed on Saturday grave concern over the attack on Ras Isa and escalating violence in the region.
