The US military says it has hit more than 800 targets since launching sustained air and naval strikes against the Houthi movement in Yemen on 15 March.
In a statement on Sunday summarising recent operations, US Central Command said it had “killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and numerous Houthi leaders”.
Washington has said it is acting to end the threat the Iran-backed Houthis pose to shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
In Yemen, the Houthis – who control large swathes of the country – said the latest US attack on the capital Sanaa on Sunday killed at least eight people, including women and children.
Earlier this month, the Houthi-run health ministry said US air strikes on a Red Sea coast controlled by the Houthis killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others.
