JAKARTA - Yemen's Houthi group said 16 people were killed in US airstrikes.

The Houthi-run Al-Masirah television network reported the attack targeted the Hodeida region and the capital Sanaa.

The attack hit al-Hawak district in Hodeida, killing 13 people most of whom were women and children, according to the report.

As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Thursday, April 16, several airstrikes targeted Rajam's territory in the Bani Hushaysh district and al-Nahdayn territory in the Al-Sabeen district, killing three people.

Last month, US President Donald Trump said he had ordered "firm and strong military action" against the Houthis and then threatened to "dismantle them completely."

The Houthis target ships passing through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and Aden Bay since November 2023 as a form of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has killed more than 50 thousand people.

The group halted attacks when a ceasefire in Gaza was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas group, but resumed after Israeli airstrikes in the enclave last month.
