A civilian was killed, in addition to between four and six Houthi leaders and members, by alleged US airstrikes on Al-Nahda neighborhood in the Al-Thawra district of Sanaa, Yemen on April 13, 2025.
A tweet from @AlHudhudmag reported that one person was killed by a US attack on the Al-Nahda residential neighborhood in the Al-Thawra district of Sanaa. Masa Press added details that the airstrikes happened in the evening in a residential neighborhood, resulting in the death of a “citizen” and widespread property damage.
A post from Abu al-Awlaki al-Jawhari stated that Houthi leader Khaled Al-Madani, director of the security facilities, was killed when an airstrike hit the home of an arms dealer whose name is unknown, killing Khaled, the arms dealer, and “other terrorist leaders and members”. The source added that following the strikes, the Houthis had imposed a strict security cordon around the area and did not let residents enter. According to @YmanAlayma4335, the home belonged to Jarman Al-Saidi. A post from Badran Al-Hazmi further documented that in addition to Khaled and Jarman, Khaled’s son, Zain Al-Abidin, his office manager, Ghassan Al-Madani, Mohammed Al-Madani, and Abdul-Qader Al-Mahdi were also killed.
