20250910
CAIRO, September 10 (Sputnik) - The death toll from Israeli airstrikes on a Houthi defense ministry office has risen to eight, with at least 12 injured, a local government source told Sputnik Wednesday.
"The death toll from the Israeli airstrike on the Moral Guidance Department in Sanaa has risen to eight, with 12 injured, including journalists, both men and women," the source said.
The Moral Guidance Department serves as the press office of the Houthi-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces.
The Houthi Health Ministry said later in the day that 35 people had been killed and 131 injured in the wake of Israel's attacks on Sanaa and Jawf province.
Israel and the US have been conducting bombing operations against Yemen since early 2024, citing the Houthis' missile and drone attacks on Israel and a partial blockade of the Red and Arabian seas to Israeli-linked maritime traffic. The militia has vowed to continue its operations until Israel ends its "genocidal war" in Gaza.
