The Houthi-run Saba news agency cited the ministry as saying the dead and injured had come from overnight strikes "by the American enemy" on a market and a residential zone in Sanaa's Farwa district.
Other raids were reported late Sunday in the central province of Marib, Hodeida in the west and the Houthi bastion of Saada in the north, Saba said.
Houthi miltary spokesman Yahya Saree said the group launched attacks on two US aircraft carriers in response to the latest deadly American strikes.
The Houthis also targeted two Israeli locations with drones, he said.
The US military has been carrying out almost daily attacks for the past month, saying it was targeting the "Iran-backed Houthi terrorists" to stop attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
One attack on Thursday on the Ras Issa oil port killed some 80 people and injured 150, according to the Houthis.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Saturday that he was "gravely concerned" by the US strikes. But he also called on the Houthis to stop missile attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping.
The Houthis said they started missile attacks in solidarity with Gaza as Israel wages a genocidal war on the Strip. US raids started in January 2024 but have been stepped up since President Donald Trump took office this year.
