The assault comes as Yemen enforces a ban on Israeli ships entering designated zones in response to the Israeli regime's siege on Gaza.
The United States has launched an aggression on Yemen, striking the capital Sanaa several times on Saturday following the reinstatement of Yemen's ban on Israeli ships passing through designated areas.
Several air raids targeted the northeastern and western parts of Sanaa, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Yemeni Health Ministry spokesman Anis al-Asbahi told Al Mayadeen that nine civilians were killed and nine others were wounded in the preliminary toll of the US-British aggression airstrikes.
Trump announces strikes, promises 'hell will rain down'
US President Donald Trump announced launching military strikes against Yemen's Ansar Allah on Saturday over the group's operations in the Red Sea, warning "hell will rain down upon you" if they did not stop targeting Israeli and Israeli-affiliated commercial vessels and US warships active in the region.
Trump also warned Iran that it needed to immediately stop supporting the group, promising that if it threatened the United States, "America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!"
"The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
"Your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before," Trump audaciously said, threatening Ansar Allah over its support for Gaza. 
The New York Times earlier cited two US officials as saying that Washington is planning to launch airstrikes on several targets in Yemen.
The NYT reported that the United States started large-scale military strikes against "dozens of targets" in Yemen, noting that US President Trump ordered airstrikes on alleged "radars, air defenses, and missile and drone systems", however, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that several airstrikes by the US-UK coalition of aggression targeted a residential neighborhood in al-Jarf north of Sanaa, resulting in civilian casualties. 
US officials pointed out that the strikes allegedly targeting the Yemeni Armed Forces' arsenal could last for several days and intensify in scope and scale depending on the Yemeni forces' response.
This comes four days after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced a resumption on banning all Israeli ships from specified areas in the Red Sea, Arab Sea, as well as Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Aden Gulf, with the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Yahya Saree warning that any Israeli ships that violate this ban will be attacked.

Yemen vows military action against 'Israel'
Yemen has pledged to take action against "Israel" after it refused to lift the blockade on military aid to Gaza, aiming to pressure the occupation into ending the siege, while a senior Yemeni military source told Al Mayadeen on March 11 that "Israel" had failed to comply with the agreement and did not lift the siege on Gaza, emphasizing that Yemen's next steps will be determined by this violation.
The source confirmed that the army, along with all its military formations, has finalized its preparations and remains in a state of readiness for orders, adding that Yemen's naval operations are centered on breaking the blockade and securing the delivery of aid to Gaza.
The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, declared on March 9 that military operations targeting Israeli-linked vessels would resume if humanitarian aid does not reach Gaza within the four-day deadline he had set last week.
Previously, Sayyed Abdul-Malik set a four-day deadline on March 7 for mediators to ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, warning that if the Israeli occupation continued to obstruct aid deliveries, naval operations targeting Israeli-linked vessels
