ALBAWABA- Yemeni sources report a wave of U.S. airstrikes targeting Sa'dah, the Houthi stronghold in northern Yemen, as part of an ongoing military campaign.
The attacks, which have continued since March 15 following U.S. President Donald Trump’s directive for intensified strikes, show no sign of slowing.
On Monday, a series of overnight airstrikes hit multiple locations across Yemen. One attack in the capital, Sana'a, killed at least one person and injured over a dozen others.
A residential building in the Ma'in district of Asir, west of Sana'a, was also bombed, causing civilian casualties.
The U.S. claims its strikes aim to neutralize Houthi threats to maritime trade and Israel, marking the tenth consecutive day of bombardment.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz stated that key Houthi leaders, including their chief missile strategist, had been eliminated—an assertion unconfirmed by the Houthis, who have historically downplayed losses while overstating their attacks on U.S. naval assets.
Notably, The White House confirmed on Monday that a journalist was mistakenly included in a group chat where top U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, discussed planned strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels.
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that he had received hours of advance notice about the operation through the Signal messaging app.
National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes acknowledged the error, stating, "The message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain."
When asked about the incident, President Donald Trump claimed he was unaware, saying, "I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time," but added that "the attack was very effective."
Despite the potential security risks, Goldberg did not publish details of the classified plan, even after the strike had taken place.
