Live updates: Follow the latest on Israel-Gaza
Two people were killed and two injured in US air strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, media affiliated with the Houthi rebels reported on Thursday morning.
The US began a large-scale military offensive against the Iran-backed group on March 15, vowing to use overwhelming force to halt Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes. At least 53 people, including five children and two women, were killed in the campaign's initial strikes.
The latest attacks struck Al Arqoub area, in the Khawlan district of Sanaa, Saba reported. It added that at least four attacks had been launched on the Yemeni capital.
The Houthis also reported US strikes on the city of Saada, a rebel stronghold. A day before, the group said renewed US attacks had hit Sanaa, after 19 strikes were reported elsewhere in Yemen.
"A series of strikes by the US aggression have hit the south and north of the capital," Al Masirah channel said, without providing further details. Saba said "the American aggression targeted the Oncology Hospital building in Saada".
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the Houthis “want peace” after more than a week of strikes, which he described as “very, very strong".
“The Houthis are looking to do something. They want to know, ‘How do we stop? How do we stop? How can we have peace?' The Houthis want peace because they’re getting the hell knocked out of them,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. Mr Trump has said the Houthis face being destroyed and warned Iran to stop its support for the group.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the actions of the Houthis were “unsustainable” and referred to the group as a “religious, fanatic gang". The US military campaign became mired in controversy this week after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said he was inadvertently added to a group on the messaging app Signal, where high-level US officials, including Mr Rubio, discussed the first wave of strikes on Yemen. Messages included the times and weapons to be used, hours before the attacks were launched.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.

Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

Iran has sent five planeloads of food to Qatar, which is suffering shortages amid a regional blockade.
A number of nations, including Iran's major rival Saudi Arabia, last week cut ties with Qatar, accusing it of funding terrorism, charges it denies.
The land border with Saudi Arabia, through which 40% of Qatar's food comes, has been closed.
Meanwhile, mediators Kuwait said that Qatar was ready to listen to the "qualms" of its neighbours.
