At least 35 people were killed and more than 130 injured as Israel carried out a new wave of airstrikes in Yemen, according to Houthi officials. The attacks come just days after Houthi rebels launched a drone strike that hit an Israeli airport, escalating tensions in the region.
The Houthi-run health ministry reported that most of the casualties occurred in the capital, Sanaa. Search and rescue crews continued to dig through the rubble late into the night, as fears grew that the death toll could rise further.
Among the targets struck were a military headquarters and a fuel station, the health ministry said. The latest strikes mark a sharp escalation in cross-border hostilities, raising concerns of a widening conflict in the region.
