The U.S. military’s Central Command has not confirmed the casualties and declined to comment on the airstrikes.
The intensified air campaign against the Houthis was launched in March after the group threatened to resume attacks on Israeli-linked vessels, following Israel’s decision to restart military operations in Gaza.
Since March, U.S. airstrikes have killed over 200 people in Houthi-held areas, according to rebel sources. Last week, the U.S. targeted the Ras Isa port, killing at least 80 people and injuring more than 170.
