US airstrikes targeted Sanaa and surrounding provinces early Tuesday, in the latest escalation of Washington’s ongoing “Operation Prosperity Guardian” launched on March 15.

According to Al-Masirah, US warplanes carried out multiple raids on Sanaa, including two strikes on Bani Hashish district. Late Tuesday, four airstrikes targeted Barash area east of Jabal Nuql, while another hit Bilad al-Rus district south of the capital.

In the north, US aircraft struck Safyan district in Amran province with three raids, and bombed al-Mahadhir in Saadah’s Sahar district.

The strikes came less than 24 hours after a deadly US attack on a migrant detention center in Saadah, which left dozens dead or injured.
