Overnight US strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa killed at least three people, Yemen’s SABA news agency reported on Thursday.
The report cited Yemen’s Health Ministry, which said “three citizens were martyred” as a result of the “US aggression.”
Yemen’s Health Ministry also said that a worker who was injured by a US strike on a farm in the Dhmar province on Tuesday died of his wounds. Four civilians were initially reported injured by the attack.
“The US aggression had carried out three airstrikes on a farm in the Ans District, west of Dhamar city, on Tuesday evening, resulting in the injury of four guards and workers at the farm,” SABA reported.
The US bombing campaign in Yemen has taken a heavy toll on civilians. The Health Ministry said Wednesday that 107 civilians had been killed by the US bombing campaign since March 15. The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, have not released figures on the number of militants who have been killed.
A US official told AFP on Wednesday that the US had struck 100 targets in Yemen since the bombing campaign began. The White House said on April 1 that the US had launched “200 successful strikes” on Yemen up to that point.
The US official speaking to AFP claimed the US has destroyed Houthi military targets, but The New York Times recently reported that the airstrikes have only had limited success in destroying Houthi weapons and underground military infrastructure.
