The United States and British warplanes have launched a series of airstrikes on various targets in Yemen’s southwestern province of Ibb, amid the ongoing maritime operations by Yemeni naval units against vessels linked to Israel in the Red Sea.

Citing local sources, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported that three strikes hit the Maytam area, located east of the provincial capital city of Ibb, early on Sunday.

Further details remain unavailable.

No immediate information has been released regarding potential casualties or the degree of damage inflicted.

The US-British coalition has not commented on the airstrikes yet.

Yemenis have openly voiced their solidarity with Palestine in its battle against the Israeli occupation, especially after the regime opened a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, killing close to 41,000 Palestinians to date, most of them women and children.

The occupying entity has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

Leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has said it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”

The attacks have compelled several of the largest shipping and oil corporations globally to halt their transit operations along one of the most critical maritime trade routes.

Ttankers are now opting to navigate thousands of additional miles by circumventing the continent of Africa instead of utilizing the Suez Canal.
