Houthi Rebels Say At Least 16 Killed In Airstrikes In Yemen

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Joint British-U.S. airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels killed at least 16 people and wounded 35 others. That’s according to comments from the rebels Friday. That is the highest publicly acknowledged death toll strikes carried out over the rebels’ attacks on shipping. The U.S. and Britain acknowledged carrying out the strikes on Hodeida, Sanaa and elsewhere. The Houthis focused on a strike that hit a building housing Hodeida Radio and civilian homes in the port city on the Red Sea. It aired images of wounded people being treated in a hospital. The Houthis have stepped up attacks on shipping, demanding that Israel end the war against Hamas.
