At least nine injured, including two children, in new US bombings in Yemen
At least nine people, including two children, were injured this Wednesday in a new wave of bombings carried out by the United States against at least four cities in Yemen under the control of the Houthi rebels, reported media affiliated with the Iranian-backed Shiite movement.
Al Masirah, spokesman for the Houthis, reported that at least “seven women and two children were injured in the US attack” in the Al Thawra district of Sana, the capital of Yemen controlled by the insurgents since 2014.
According to the chain, the bombings also targeted “the surroundings of the city of Saada”, north of the capital; the northern town of Hazm, in the governorship of Al Jawf; and a district of the city of Al Bayda, in the center of the country.
At least two missiles hit the capital’s neighborhood of Al Jeraf, on the road that leads to Saná airport, according to EFE.
Large columns of smoke and a large fire could be observed from different points of the city, while ambulance teams and firefighters went to the scene of the attack, which according to witnesses was aimed at a deposit.
Al Masirah added that one of the attacks hit “a celebration hall under construction in a residential neighborhood in the Al Thawra district” and, in Al Jawf, destroyed a farm and killed several head of cattle.
This new wave of bombings came minutes after US President Donald Trump warned that Iran must completely and immediately cease its support for the Houthis, not just reduce it, and threatened the latter that they will be “completely annihilated” if the attacks against Israel and the Red Sea do not cease.
The Republican leader estimated on his social network, Truth Social, that “tremendous damage” has already been inflicted on the Houthis and stressed that “the situation will progressively worsen.”
At the weekend, the United States began a series of airstrikes against different cities controlled by the Houthis in northern and central Yemen, as well as in the capital, Saná, bombings that resulted in more than fifty deaths.

Families search for clues at mexican ranch where burnt bones were found
Eager to find any trace of their missing relatives, dozens of people visited a ranch in western Mexico on Thursday, where burnt bones were found and which was allegedly used as a training center for a drug cartel.
The relatives entered the property in the town of Teuchtilán (Jalisco state) and examined several items in the hope of finding a clue that might end their years of anguish in many cases.
They inspected handmade weights and dumbbells, leaving candles and photographs of their loved ones, AFP observed.
The families arrived at the ranch after a confrontation with officials from the Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office, who had blocked their access as journalists toured the site along with authorities.
The reporters were invited by the Attorney General’s Office, which is now taking over the investigation due to alleged irregularities in the inquiry being conducted by the local authorities.
“Son, listen, your mother is in the fight!” shouted Alejandra Cruz as she approached the ranch’s door, where a collective searching for missing persons had found burnt bones, along with hundreds of clothes and shoes, on March 5.
Cruz is searching for her 19-year-old son, Julio César Aguayo Cruz, who has been missing since May 31, 2021.
The families fear that the remains may belong to their missing relatives, possibly recruited under false pretenses by a cartel operating in the area, located about 60 kilometers from Guadalajara, the country’s second-largest city.
There are approximately 124,000 missing persons in Mexico, nearly 15,000 of them in Jalisco, according to official records.

Molotov attacks on Tesla assets lead to indictments in the U.S.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Thursday the indictment of three individuals for their involvement in what she described as “a wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla,” the electric car manufacturer owned by billionaire Elon Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump.
The three individuals “will face the full weight of the law for setting fire to Tesla cars and charging stations using Molotov cocktails,” the Department of Justice said in a statement. “This is a warning: if anyone participates in this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla’s assets, the Department of Justice will put them behind bars,” Bondi added.
The three defendants, who have not been identified, face prison sentences ranging from five to 20 years, according to the Department of Justice, which did not specify the exact charges they are facing.
In recent weeks, several Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations have been vandalized across the United States.
One of the accused was arrested after throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon (west) and another in Loveland, Colorado (west) after attempting to set fire to Tesla cars using the same method, according to the Attorney General’s office.

Tamil Nadu court defends women’s sexuality in divorce ruling
Topics related to female sexuality are considered taboo in India, especially for married women, who are expected to prioritize their husbands and children over themselves.
A ruling issued on Wednesday in the southern state of Tamil Nadu followed an appeal by a man against a court decision that had denied him a divorce. The man had based his request on several alleged acts of cruelty by his wife, including, according to him, an addiction to masturbating while watching pornography.
However, the Madras High Court ruled that “self-pleasure is not a forbidden fruit.”
“As long as male masturbation is accepted, female masturbation cannot be stigmatized,” stated the ruling, which was accessed by AFP.
The court further emphasized that a woman “retains her individuality” even after marriage and that her “fundamental identity as an individual and as a woman is not tied to her status as a wife.” While the ruling acknowledged that pornography addiction was “harmful” and “morally unjustifiable,” it stated that it does not constitute legal grounds for divorce.
Divorce remains a taboo in much of India, where only one in 100 marriages ends in dissolution, primarily due to family and societal pressure.
