After the announcement of American president Donald Trump of a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis rebels, the capital of Yemen, Sanaa, was affected by strikes on Saturday who killed nine civilians, the insurgents reported.

“An American-British attack has targeted a residential area in the north of the Sanaa capital,” controlled by the Houthis, said the Al-Massirah rebels. In a statement released by the news agency of Rebels Saba, the Houthi government ministry of health, citing a “provisional assessment,” said that “nine civilians have been killed and nine other injured, mostly, in the American-British assault” against Sanaa.

“Do not threaten the American people”

“Support for Houthi terrorists must stop immediately! Do not threaten the American people, their president (…) or the world’s sea routes. And if you do it, be careful, because America will keep you completely responsible for it and we will not give you a gift! “Wrote Donald Trump on Truth Social.

On March 11, the Houthis, who supported the Palestinians in Gaza, announced to take over the attacks they have been led by Yemen for a little more than a year against commercial ships they consider linked to Israel. The Houthis will “resume the ban on the passage of all Israeli ships” in the Red Sea, the Strait of Bab-El-Mandeb, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, Israel having not allowed the resumption of the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip blocked since March 2, they said.
