3 Injured in New U.S. Airstrikes on Sana'a and Saada - Jordan News
Three people were injured on Thursday following U.S. airstrikes targeting the Yemeni provinces of Sana'a and Saada, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict. اضافة اعلان According to a statement from the Ministry of Health of the Houthi-led (unrecognized) government, 'A citizen was injured in an airstrike on Al-Jiraf Al-Sharqi neighborhood in the capital Sana'a, and residential homes in the northern Bir Zaid area were damaged.' In Saada Governorate, located in northern Yemen, 'one person was wounded in airstrikes on Al-Salim District, and another was injured in the Sahar District,' the Houthi-run SABA News Agency reported. The ministry condemned what it called the 'continued U.S. aggression targeting residential areas,' describing it as a 'flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.' It also called on the international community to take urgent action to stop what it referred to as 'these crimes.' As of 07:40 GMT, no official U.S. statement had been released regarding the strikes. On Wednesday evening, U.S. warplanes reportedly launched six airstrikes on the Sahlin area in Al-Salim District, Saada. Since March 15, the Anadolu Agency has recorded nearly 1,000 U.S. airstrikes in Yemen, resulting in 217 civilian deaths and 436 injuries, mostly among women and children, according to Houthi sources. These figures do not include Houthi fighters. The air campaign began following orders from U.S. President Donald Trump to launch a 'major offensive' against the Houthi movement, with threats to 'completely eliminate' the group. The Houthis, however, have largely disregarded Trump's threats and resumed attacks on Israeli targets and Red Sea-bound vessels, saying these were in retaliation for Israel's renewed military operations in Gaza since March 18.
With full U.S. support, Israel has been accused of committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 168,000 Palestinian casualties, mostly women and children, and more than 11,000 missing, according to local health authorities.

Houthis fire ballistic missile at 'Israel' in first attack since Tehran-Tel Aviv ceasefire
Yemen's Houthi movement said Saturday it launched a ballistic missile at 'Israel', marking its first declared attack since the ceasefire between Iran and 'Israel' took effect on June 24 following their brief but intense 12-day war. The missile, identified by the Houthis as a 'Dhu al-Fiqar' ballistic missile, was reportedly aimed at a 'sensitive Israeli enemy target' in the southern city of Beersheba, according to a statement from Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree. In 'Israel', sirens were heard across multiple areas, prompting brief alarm. The 'Israeli' military later announced that the missile was 'most likely successfully intercepted' and caused no damage. Houthi officials framed the launch as retaliation for 'Israeli' actions in Gaza, where the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate after months of war. 'The attack was in response to the crimes of the criminal Zionist enemy against civilians in the Gaza Strip,' Saree said in the statement. He added that the group would 'continue its supportive operations until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.'

Trump stated at a recent summit that new talks with Iran would be held next week, but he did not provide any details. A sixth round of US-Iran talks scheduled for Amman on June 15 was cancelled after Israeli strikes on Iranian targets two days earlier. Amid the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel, US forces bombed key Iranian nuclear sites. In statements to Iranian state television, Araghchi confirmed for the first time that the attacks caused "significant" damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

In a post published Saturday on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, 'Who in the Fake News Media is the SleazeBag saying that 'President Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities.' Never heard of this ridiculous idea. It's just another HOAX put out by the Fake News in order to demean. These people are SICK!!!' Trump did not name a specific media outlet or reporter in the post, but he categorically denied any involvement in such a plan, distancing himself from suggestions that he would support financial incentives for Iran's nuclear program, even if restricted to peaceful purposes.
