Yemen’s Houthi group reported Friday that the United States carried out five airstrikes targeting the northern Amran province.

According to Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, the "American aggression" focused on the Harf Sufyan district.

The report gave no details about casualties or damage caused by the strikes.

There was no immediate response from the US to the Houthi claims.

The Houthis have targeted Israeli cargo ships or ones linked with Tel Aviv in the Red Sea with missiles and drones in a show of support for the Gaza Strip, where nearly 47,000 people have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war since October 2023.

Since early 2024, a coalition led by the US has been carrying out airstrikes that it said target Houthi locations in Yemen in response to the group’s Red Sea attacks, with occasional retaliation from the Houthis.
