The US continued to pound Yemen with airstrikes on Wednesday night, with Al Mayadeen reporting 15 US airstrikes on the southern and northeastern outskirts of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that some of the strikes hit targets near the Sanaa International Airport. Earlier in the day, Yemen’s Al Masirah TV reported 17 US strikes in the northern Saada province and two in the Amran province.
On Wednesday morning, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced attacks on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman. Saree said that the attack lasted for “several hours.”
Since the US restarted its bombing campaign in Yemen on March 15, the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, have launched frequent attacks on the USS Harry Truman. US officials have downplayed the attacks, and the US military hasn’t been reporting each one.
So far, there have been no reports of casualties in the Wednesday US airstrikes around Sanaa, but the Trump administration’s bombing campaign has had a heavy toll on civilians. According to the Yemen Data Project, at least 25 civilians were killed in just the first week, and more than 55% of the strikes hit non-civilian targets.
