By Mohammed Ghobari SANAA, June 18 (Reuters) - Four car bombs which struck mosques in Sanaa and the headquarters of Yemen's dominant Houthi movement on Wednesday killed two people and wounded 60 others, a medical source told state news agency Saba on Thursday. Coming on the eve of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the bombings were claimed by Islamic state and contributed to a sense of fear in the capital, which was again hit by air strikes targeting Houthi-allied military sites on Thursday. The campaign aims to restore Yemen's government in exile and fend off what Saudi Arabia sees as growing Iranian influence in the Arabian Peninsula, but the coalition has yet to reverse the Houthis' control over the capital and upper hand in battles against opponents nationwide.
