Yemen, Houthi: "12 killed in U.S. airstrikes on the capital"

Dubai, April 21 (LaPresse) – Houthi rebels claim that U.S. airstrikes on the capital of Yemen killed 12 people and wounded another 30. The deaths mark the latest in a series of intensified U.S. air attacks against the rebels. The U.S. Central Command declined to respond to questions about the attack or discuss civilian casualties during the campaign. The Houthis say the strike hit the Farwa neighborhood market in the Shuub district of Sanaa. That area had already been targeted by the Americans previously. The nighttime airstrikes also hit other areas of the country.
