Over 120 People Killed in US Attacks on Yemen Since Mid-March

The United States’ bombardment campaign in Yemen has killed more than 120 people – mostly civilians – since mid-March, health officials in the capital Sana'a confirmed.
Yemen’s Ministry of Health said on Monday that US attacks have killed 123 people and injured 247 others, stressing that the victims include many women and children.Civilians have been targeted, families wiped out, military sites destroyed and soldiers killed.US President Donald Trump has vowed that the Houthi group – also known as Ansarallah – will be “completely annihilated” under daily attacks by the United States military. Washington says its campaign aims to "stop attacks against Israel as well as shipping lanes in the Red Sea".However, the Houthis pledged to continue its military operations until Israel ends its war and siege on the Gaza Strip in solidarity with Palestinians.Trump has been suggesting that the Houthi group has been severely weakened. But the Yemeni movement stresses the US offensive has proven to be a failure and is only targeting civil officials and civilian infrastructure.“We hold the American administration fully responsible for its continuing crimes and massacres against civilian dignitaries and civilians and its direct and repeated bombardment of infrastructure, industrial facilities and civil officials,” the ministry added.Despite the US campaign, the Houthis – who present themselves as Yemen’s official armed forces – announced on Sunday that they fired two missiles at the occupied territories and launched a separate drone attack against a “vital” target on the Israeli coast.
