All his four children, two boys and two girls, were killed. His wife was critically injured and is receiving treatment in the hospital," Ali Al-Suhaili, from Shu'ub neighborhood east of Sanaa, where the targeted house was located, told Xinhua."The house was targeted by American warplanes yesterday, Sunday night, with two airstrikes. We don't know what these people did for suffering all these...," Al-Suhaili said, stressing, "This heinous U.S. crime will not be forgotten."Mohammed Al-Qardi, a local resident, was among those who rushed first to rescue the family. "The American enemy bombed the civilian property last night, killing the four children ... Are these the military targets that Netanyahu and Trump boast about?" he said with anger.A forensic evidence member works at the site of a house destroyed by U.S. airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen, on April 7, 2025.

Most of them sustained serious wounds and burns from shrapnel and fire, according to the report.The violent airstrikes forced many families in the neighborhood to flee their homes for fear of losing their lives.The tragedy followed Saturday U.S. airstrikes on a solar energy store and an adjacent house in the northern Saada city that killed two people and wounded nine others, according to medics and residents.A man looks at the rubble of a house destroyed by U.S. airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen, on April 7, 2025.
