US Air Attacks Target Several Yemeni Cities
The United States military struck a number of cities in Yemen, including the capital, Sana'a, as well as the key port city of Hudaydah.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM), the military command responsible for US troops in the Middle East, announced that its forces have conducted strikes on 15 targets in Yemen.Four strikes targeted Sana'a and seven hit Hudaydah, according to Al-Masirah TV network.The Hudaydah strikes hit the airport and the Katheib area, Al-Masirah added. Footage on social media verified by Al-Jazeera’s fact-checking agency showed large plumes of smoke resulting from the raids in Hudaydah.At least one strike hit Dhamar province, and air raids took place in Bayda province, Southeast of Sana'a.“These actions were taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition, and merchant vessels,” CENTCOM wrote on X, adding that the strikes took place at around 1400GMT.Al-Masirah, which did not elaborate on any damage or casualties, claimed the United Kingdom also participated in the attacks. But the UK Ministry of Defence has categorically dismissed any involvement in the strikes.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have been conducting anti-Israel military operation since October in a campaign aims to pressure Tel Aviv to end its war on the besieged enclave. Sana'a has vowed not to stop its strikes until the Zionist regime ends the military onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged territory.In response, Washington formed a military coalition against Yemen, and targeted the war-torn country with more than hundreds of airstrikes since January. But the military campaign has failed to stop the Yemeni troops' attacks.
