The Hamas-run Palestine Information Center says:
At least 12 civilians were killed and 30 others were injured in US airstrikes on a market and residential area in the center of Yemen’s capital city, Sana’a, on Sunday night.According to local media, deadly US strikes targeted the Furwah neighborhood market in Sana’a’s Sha’ub district.Footage aired by al-Masirah satellite channel showed extensive damage to vehicles and buildings in the bombed area in Sana’a, with citizens, who rushed to the scene, holding what appeared to be a dead child. Other wounded civilians wailed on stretchers heading for hospitals.
The death toll was said to have gone up to 20.
Only one problem. It was a Houthi missile that misfired.
Iran Update reports:
A Yemeni journalist confirmed on April 22 that a Houthi missile launched from an airbase on Adhran Mountain near Sanaa City malfunctioned and crashed into Furwa Market, Shuab District, on April 21. Houthi media falsely reported this as a CENTCOM airstrike. The Houthi missile misfire resulted in more than 40 casualties. A Yemen analyst also reported that the Houthis continue to claim that a CENTCOM airstrike caused the explosion. The Houthis have arrested approximately 30 people in Sanaa City for publishing footage of the incident.
The missile seems to have been identified as Iranian.
Sounds vaguely familiar.
