Death Toll From Saudi Airstrikes in Yemen Rises to 44
Houthi-run Almasirah TV reported that the death toll from Saudi airstrikes in Yemen’s Sanaa province has risen to 44. Local health authorities said 40 others were wounded in strikes on the Alshariyah area, east of Sanaa. They reported that 21 children and 10 women were among the dead, while rescue teams searched for people missing beneath the rubble. The renewed fighting follows the collapse of a truce that had reduced hostilities since 2022. The Houthis have since launched attacks targeting Saudi infrastructure, including a reported strike near Riyadh’s financial district. UN estimates cited in the report say more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced since active combat resumed.
