The US launched large-scale airstrikes on Saturday evening, hitting dozens of targets in Houthi-controlled areas of the capital, Sanaa.
According to the Yemeni Ministry of Health, at least 23 people were killed and more than 20 others wounded in the attacks.
In response, a senior military commander from Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthis) warned that retaliation was imminent, saying the group's response to the US strikes “will come within hours.”
