"As a result of the bombing, serious damage was caused to government institutions, civilian infrastructure, private buildings, houses and residential areas. 320 civilians were killed and injured, among them mostly women and children. However, it is worth emphasizing that these destructions and losses are not related to our military capabilities," said the interlocutor of the publication, adding that the combat capabilities of the Houthis continue to improve.

Earlier, the Shiite Ansar Allah movement attacked warships in the waters of the Red Sea, including a support vessel for the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman.
