BREAKING: Fresh U.S Airstrike Devastates Sana’a | 8 Dead As War Clouds Darken Yemen Sky | Video

At least eight people, including women and children, have been killed after a US airstrike hit Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. Strikes also targeted other districts like Safyan, Sa’ada, and Amran. The US claims the ongoing attacks aim to curb Houthi strikes on Israel-linked vessels. CENTCOM reports over 800 targets hit since March, with Houthi capabilities diminished. However, Yemen vows to continue its resistance until Israel halts its war on Gaza. The deadly escalation has worsened the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, drawing international condemnation and raising fears of a wider conflict. #Yemen #USAirstrike #Sanaa #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaWar #Houthi #CENTCOM #IsraelPalestine #HumanitarianCrisis #BreakingNews #YemenConflict #MiddleEast #USMilitary #WarCrime #SanaaAttack #YemenNews #SaveYemen #StopTheWar #GlobalCrisis #WarUpdates Also Read UN confirms Yemen peace talks will start Thursday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-confirms-yemen-peace-talks-will-start-april-21-2076280.html?ref=DMDesc Yemen: Coalition airstrikes kill over 32 in Sanaa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/coalition-airstrikes-kill-over-32-yemeni-capital-1998605.html?ref=DMDesc Suicide car bomber attacks southern Yemen checkpoint; 7 dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/suicide-car-bomber-attacks-southern-yemen-checkpoint-7-dead-1998038.html?ref=DMDesc
