SANAA: At least two people were killed in overnight US strikes in and around Yemen´s capital Sanaa, media controlled by the Huthi rebels reported on Sunday, in the latest such air raid.

The Iran-backed group´s Al-Masirah channel, citing the rebels´ health ministry, reported two deaths and 11 injured in the “US aggression on Sanaa, the capital, and the governorate”.

The channel earlier said one person was killed in an air strike on the governorate´s Bani Matar area, where a deadly US raid was reported a week ago.

Beyond Sanaa, the Huthis said on Sunday that air strikes also hit Yemen´s Marib and Amran provinces.

Earlier this week, the rebel group said that US strikes on the fuel port of Ras Issa killed at least 80 people and wounded 150 in the deadliest attack of Washington´s 15-month campaign against the Huthis.
