UNITED STATES President Donald Trump threatened Yemen’s Houthi-led government on Wednesday that they would be “completely annihilated” as US bombers pounded locations under their control.

Strikes hit Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, as well as the Houthi stronghold of Saada in the country’s north-west on Wednesday night, the al-Maisrah satellite news channel reported. 

It aired footage showing firefighters battling a blaze in Sanaa and damage at what it described as a sheep farm in al-Jawf.
