Iran has once again denied aiding Yemen’s Houthi rebels after the United States launched a wave of air strikes against them and President Donald Trump warned Tehran will be held “fully accountable” for their actions.

The Houthi-run health ministry said the strikes killed at least 31 people, including women and children, and injured more than 100. The rebels said one strike hit two homes in northern Saada province, killing four children and a woman.
