The death toll from U.S. airstrikes targeting a house in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Sunday evening has risen to four, with 23 others injured, local medical sources confirmed.

The fatalities included two men and two women, while the injured comprised 11 women and children, according to a statement from Sanaa's health authorities.

The strikes targeted a house in the densely populated Shu'ub district in the east, damaging multiple residences. Rescue teams continued combing through rubble for potential survivors.

Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported three separate airstrikes on Mount Al-Aswad in Bani Matar district, west of Sanaa, though no casualties were confirmed.

Earlier on Sunday, residents in the western province of Hodeidah reported U.S. strikes targeting sites including Kamaran Island in the Red Sea. No injuries were documented.

The U.S. military initiated a renewed campaign against Houthi targets on March 15, claiming strikes on air defense systems, command hubs and weapons storage sites to "degrade the group's capabilities."

The Houthi movement, which controls Sanaa and large parts of northern Yemen, has vowed to continue attacks on Israeli-linked commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The group cites Israel's restrictions on Gaza aid as justification.
