The United States and Britain have carried out fresh aerial assaults on Yemen’s western city of Hudaydah.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported on Thursday that the airstrikes targeted an area near Hudaydah University in the city's al-Hawak district. 

The report provided no information about possible casualties or damage.

The US-British coalition has not commented on the attack that came a week after a similar raid on Hudaydah International Airport.

The US and its allies have been bombing Yemen over the past months in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.

The illegal air raids came in response to Yemen’s maritime campaign in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid a genocidal Israeli war.

On Tuesday, the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a drone attack against a vital target in the city of Ashkelon in the Israeli-occupied territories.

They said in a statement that the operation was conducted "in support of the oppressed people of Palestine and Lebanon, and ... [their] resistances."

In the pro-Palestine campaign, Yemeni forces have targeted ships heading to or departing ports in the occupied territories, or whose owners are linked to Israel, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea. They have also attacked American and British vessels in the same waters.

Regional tensions escalated after Israel waged its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, followed by aggression against Lebanon.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 43,163 people in Gaza and 2,820 others in Lebanon.
