Yemen's capital Sanaa saw another violent night as U.S. warplanes carried out airstrikes on a residential area in Al-Thawra district on Wednesday, causing widespread destruction and leaving several people dead.
The aftermath were captured by a camera set up by China Global Television Network (CGTN), showing scenes of smoke, fire, and rescue workers amidst the rubble.
Residents find themselves in devastation, surrounded by rubble and destruction following a night of bombardment.
"While we were having dinner at around 19:00, U.S. warplanes launched two airstrikes on residential neighborhoods, causing casualties, including around nine civilians. These locations have no connection to military sites," said Jassar Al-Qudaimi, a resident.
The U.S. airstrikes were not limited to Sanaa. They also targeted the provinces of Saada, Al-Jawf, Al-Bayda, and Hodeidah, which are under the control of Houthis.
The Houthis, who control northern Yemen, claimed earlier on Wednesday they had launched cruise missiles at the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea, calling it their fourth such attack in 72 hours.
The group insists its maritime strikes target only Israeli-linked vessels to pressure Israel to halt its Gaza offensive and allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave.
The U.S. military, which began strikes on Houthi targets Saturday, said the campaign aims to protect international shipping lanes.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned the Houthis on Saturday to cease attacks or face intensified consequences, declaring, "Hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before."
