Almost 230 Yemenis Killed in US Weeks-Long Military Campaign
The United States acknowledged carrying out more than 800 attacks on targets in Yemen since mid-March, bringing the total of those killed in the war-torn country to nearly 230 people.
The Al Masirah TV satellite news channel reported early on Monday that eight people were killed in a US strike targeting the Bani Al-Harith district North of Yemen’s capital, Sana'a.The US also struck Yemen’s Amran and Saada governorates on Sunday night, and two people were reported killed in an earlier attack on Sana'a.“Eight martyrs, including children and women,” the channel reported after the raid that targeted the Thaqban area in Bani al-Harith.A later report by the station claimed that dozens were reported killed in the US bombing of Saada, where a detention centre was struck.The latest US bombing raids raise the death toll from US strikes on Yemen to 228 people, according to a tally of Yemen's announcements on casualties.The US military announced on Sunday that since March 15, it had struck more than 800 targets in Yemen and killed hundreds of "rebel fighters".Washington has not commented on civilian casualties from its intense bombing of Yemen, which began on March 15 and has involved almost daily attacks.
US forces say they are targeting Yemen because of the country’s armed forces attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, and on the occupied territories. Yemen says they launched their attacks on Red Sea shipping linked to Israel in retaliation against the Zionist regime’s war on the Gaza Strip.The US is conducting strikes from its two aircraft carriers in the region – the USS Harry S Truman in the Red Sea and the USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea.Yemeni troops, nevertheless, continue to launch missiles at the occupied territories and US vessels in the Red Sea, as well as US military drones.
