SANA'A, YEMEN - MARCH 17: Yemeni children, one of them carries a mock missile, walk next to a billboard depicting the Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi to partake in a demonstration staged against the United States' aerial attacks on the capital Sana'a, and other provinces on March 17, 2025 in Sana'a, Yemen. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have declared that during the past 24 hours, they launched two missile-drone attacks on the American aircraft carrier group as retaliation for deadly US strikes targeting several of Yemen's Houth-held territories that left at least 53 people killed and more than 100 others injured, among them five children and two women.
