US airstrikes hit Yemen: Houthi rebels

Houthi rebels said U.S. airstrikes hit Yemen’s capital overnight and into early Monday morning, killing at least three people.

Strikes in Sanaa reportedly killed one person, with the Al-Masirah satellite news source showing footage of broken glass in homes, but withholding specifics about the targets, The Associated Press reported.

A separate strike targeted a pickup truck in Hajjah, killing two people and wounding a child, the Houthis said.

It would be the first known example of U.S. strikes hitting a vehicle in Yemen.

U.S. attacks on the Yemen-based group have continued sporadically since the start of Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, but have escalated under the Trump administration.

A renewed U.S. aerial assault on the group this month was at the center of the "Houthi PC Small Group" Signal scandal that involved Vice President Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a dozen other top Trump officials.

Hegseth has pledged an “unrelenting” campaign until the group stops its attacks on various vessels in the Red Sea.

In the group chat, Vance suggested the U.S. was mostly helping Europe by clearing the crucial international shipping lanes, and argued the Trump administration should exact a higher price for its help.

The attacks went ahead, and Houthis responded by declaring they will not be deterred, and would launch retaliatory airstrikes.

The Houthis say the U.S. airstrike campaign has killed at least 61 people, the AP reported.

The Hill has reached out to the Defense Department for comment.
