One civilian was killed and between three and four others were injured by alleged US airstrikes on a “citizen’s farm” within or on the outskirts of Sadaa city, Yemen on March 28, 2025.

A Facebook post from “Majd Al-Madani Saada” reported that one person had been killed and three others were wounded by a US attack on “a citizen’s farm in Saada city”. A tweet from @TvAlmasirah also reported on US airstrikes, stating that they occurred on the outskirts of Sadaa and resulted in the death of one “citizen” and the injury of four others.

A video posted by @TvAlmasirah initially views explosions in a skyline, reportedly “US aggression raids on the outskirts of Saada city”, and then shows a man covered in blood being brought into a hospital, who later appears to be deceased, and three other men being treated for various injuries.

According to Abdul Salam Jahaf, 14 airstrikes were conducted on the outskirts of Sanaa city. A list of “targeted” locations in Sadaa was provided by @a_n_alawlaqi, which included “Houthi weapons depots in Al-Asayed in Al-Safra’a district, a Houthi leadership meeting in Saqayn, barracks in Al-Salem district, and the Bani Muadh area in Sahar district, east of Saada city”.

An image posted by source @a_n_alawlaqi has not been archived within this incident as it has been identified as relating to different events in Yemen from previous airstrikes.

Where sources identified who was responsible, all sources attributed the airstrikes to the US military.
