The US military launched more than a dozen strikes on the city of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, controlled by the Houthi militia, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and The Times of Israel.

President Trump has vowed the Iran-backed Houthi militia will be “completely annihilated.” But forceful American strikes do not seem to have deterred the Yemeni fighters.

US strikes on a Yemeni fuel port killed at least 38 people, Huthi rebels said Friday, in one of the deadliest attacks of Washington's renewed campaign against the Iran-backed group. In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: "US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Huthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Huthi efforts to terrorise the entire region for over 10 years.
