Israeli airstrikes have hit Yemen’s capital, days after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired what the Israeli military described as the first cluster bomb they've launched since 2023.

The official added that such munitions are more difficult to intercept and “represent additional technology provided to the Houthis by Iran”.

The death toll from the latest Israeli airstrikes on Yemen has risen to 10, authorities said on Monday. The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported that 92 people were also injured in the attacks on Sunday.
