DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Suspected U.S. airstrikes have pummeled sites across Yemen controlled by the country’s Houthi rebels, including neighborhoods in the capital, Sanaa. The extent of the damage and possible casualties from the attack early Friday wasn’t immediately clear. The number of strikes appeared particularly intense compared to other days in the campaign that began March 15. Initial reports from the Houthi-controlled SABA news agency referenced only one person being hurt in the attacks Friday in Sanaa, which the rebels have held since 2014. Other strikes were around the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, the rebel’s stronghold of Saada and in Yemen’s al-Jawf and Amran governorates.
