Air Strike Kills 22 Near Yemeni Capital, Houthis Say
The Houthis said Saudi jets struck houses in Bani Hushaysh, and footage showed children among the wounded as both sides traded blame.
- On Saturday, airstrikes in the Bani Hushaysh district near Sanaa killed 22 people and wounded 30 others, mostly women and children. The Houthi-run Health Ministry attributed the attack to Saudi Arabia, though there was no immediate comment from the Saudi-backed military.
- The Iran-aligned Houthi militia and the Saudi-backed military traded blame for the strike. Anees Alasbahi, a Houthi-run Health Ministry spokesman, accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the strikes in the village of al-Shariya, while the Houthi-controlled Saba agency reported renewed strikes.
- Aftermath footage from the Houthi-run broadcaster al-Masirah revealed staff carrying casualties into a local hospital. Scenes showed destroyed houses in rubble and dust, as children were treated for injuries including horrific head wounds.

- In recent months, Houthi fighters have stepped up attacks on neighboring Saudi Arabia. Airports and oil facilities in the kingdom have become primary targets for the militia, marking a significant escalation in the conflict involving the Saudi-backed government.
