DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — US air strikes pummeled sites across Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebels early Friday, including neighborhoods in the capital, Sanaa.
The extent of the damage and possible casualties was not immediately clear, though the number of strikes appeared particularly intense compared to other days in the campaign that began on March 15. An Associated Press review has found the new American operation under President Donald Trump appears more extensive than those under former president Joe Biden, as the US moves from solely targeting launch sites to firing at ranking personnel as well as dropping bombs in cities.
Neighborhoods in the capital also are home to military and intelligence service sites — as well as crowded with civilians. Other areas hit included mountainous terrain north of Sanaa in Amran, where military camps and other installations are believed to be. The Houthis' al-Masirah satellite news network described communication networks going down after the attacks, which included at least 19 strikes there alone.
