"A citizen was killed and 13 others were injured including three children in the final toll of the US aggression on a residential building in the Aser area," in Sanaa, said health ministry spokesperson Anees Alasbahi in a statement.
An AFP correspondent in that area of Sanaa saw the remains of a building destroyed in an apparent strike.
Earlier, Houthi media had reported US strikes on a residential building in Sanaa as well as in the group's heartland of Saada.
The United States did not immediately confirm whether it had conducted strikes on Sanaa, but a defence official told AFP: "CENTCOM (US Central Command) is conducting strikes across multiple locations of Iran-backed Houthi locations every day and night in Yemen."
On March 15 the United States announced a new military attack threatening to use overwhelming force until the group stop firing on vessels in the key shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
That day saw a wave of US air strikes that killed senior Houthi leaders and other 53 people.
The Houthis targeted ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden after the start of the Israeli Gaza war until a ceasefire began in January, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Earlier this month, they threatened to renew attacks on shipping in the vital maritime trade route over Israel's complete food and aid blockade on the Palestinian territory.
The rebels have also claimed attacks targeting Israel in recent days, vowing to escalate after the resumption of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
