Saudi air strikes hit Yemen over 90 times in 24 hours, including Sanaa
Houthi officials say Saudi Arabia bombed Yemen 94 times in the past day, striking the capital Sanaa and causing deaths and injuries.
The pro-Iranian Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed Saudi forces carried out 94 air strikes across Yemen within a 24-hour span, hitting Sanaa. He reported that the attacks resulted in casualties, though no exact numbers were given. One outlet reporters in Sanaa heard three large explosions on Thursday night.
Why it matters
The surge in Saudi air strikes raises the risk of further civilian casualties and deepens the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
