U.S. Airstrikes Kill at Least 12 in Sana'a, Days After U.S. Port Attack in Yemen Kills 80+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. airstrikes on Yemen's capital Sana'a over the past day have killed
at least 12 people and wounded 30 others, according to reports by Houthi
media. A separate series of U.S. attacks Saturday on Yemen targeted
Hodeidah's port and airport. This comes as the death toll rose to at
least 80 from a major U.S. military assault on the Ras Isa port on
Thursday. The deaths included at least five humanitarian workers.

The U.S. has been continuously bombing Yemen since mid-March, after
Houthi fighters vowed to resume targeting Red Sea ships tied to Israel's
war on Gaza. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned of the
growing risk of regional escalation and called for "utmost restraint."
