Tasnim – The United States launched airstrike targeting the Yemeni capital of Sana’a on Sunday, killing at least eight people, including women and children. The airstrike hit three homes in the Bani Al-Harith district, north of Sana’a. Other areas of Sana’a, including the Safyan district, were also targeted in the latest attacks.
US warplanes also struck areas in the Sa’ada governorate, including the Kataf district. There are no immediate reports on the number of casualties. Six additional airstrikes targeted Amran governorate, north of Sana’a.
The US military has been carrying out almost daily attacks on Yemen for the past month, claiming that the strikes are aimed at stopping the Ansarullah movement from attacking Israel-bound vessels.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Sunday that the US strikes have killed hundreds of people in Yemen since March 15.
CENTCOM also claimed that US attacks have depleted Houthi attacking capabilities, saying that ballistic missile launches had dropped by 69 percent, while attacks from drones had decreased by 55 percent. Over 200 people have been killed in the US aggression against Yemen since March.
The Yemeni army, however, said it will not stop its attacks on Israel-linked ships until the regime halts its Gaza aggression.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni military, said on Sunday that Yemeni forces will continue to develop their military capabilities in the face of unfolding developments and US acts of aggression.
Yemenis have been hitting Israeli and American targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, and in response to the American-British aggression on their homeland.
The operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis. The Yemeni Armed Forces have said it will not stop attacks until the bloody Israeli onslaught against Gaza ends.
