Four civilians were killed and 16 others, including women and children, were injured in a US airstrike that targeted a house in the Shaab al-Hafa area of Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, the Health Ministry reported on Sunday.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Anis al-Asbahi, strongly condemned the “blatant US aggression” and its targeting of civilians, calling it “a full-fledged war crime that violates all international norms and laws.” He described the incident as “another entry in the criminal record of the United States, adding to its dark history of crimes against Yemen, its land and people.”

The US carried out two airstrikes on the Shaab al-Hafa area. Additionally, US warplanes targeted Kamaran Island, west of the Hodeidah province, with four airstrikes.
This latest attack comes just days after al-Asbahi announced that at least 92 civilians have been martyred and 165 others wounded in US airstrikes on Yemen since mid-March.
Separately, on Friday, President Trump shared a video on his social media accounts, claiming it depicted the killing of numerous fighters in an American strike on Yemen, with the caption “oops.” However, a special source for the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) refuted the claims, stating that the gathering was actually a social event held for Eid al-fitr celebrations in Hodeidah governorate, and had no connection to military operations.
