Saudi-US operation rescues American women from Sanaa

RIYADH: Two younger American girls held captive by the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen have been rescued in a joint operation by Saudi Arabia and the US.

The Yemen-born girls, aged 19 and 20, had been free of Houthi-occupied Sanaa and brought to the southern metropolis of Aden, Yemen’s interim capital. The Royal Saudi Air Drive flew them from there to Riyadh, the place they acquired well being checks and different care. The 2 girls are actually thought to have returned to the US.
