US and British warplanes have conducted new airstrikes on the Yemeni capital Sana’a in response to the Arab country’s operations against Israel.

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network reported that three aerial assaults targeted the September 21st Park, located in the northwestern part of Sana’a, which previously housed the First Armored Division on Tuesday.

US and British military aircraft also targeted the al-Ardi complex in Sana'a's al-Safiyah District, as well as the May 22nd Military Industrial Complex in al-Thawra District, with eight airstrikes.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the latest American-British aggression, saying its forces have conducted multiple “precision strikes” against targets in the Yemeni capital province of Sana'a and other regions across the Arab country over the last 24 hours.

Mohammed Abdul-Salam, spokesman of Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement, noted that the aggression against Yemen represents "a blatant violation of the sovereignty of an independent state and comes in support of Israel".

He also affirmed that "Yemen will continue to defend itself against any aggression and remains steadfast in supporting Gaza."

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched its campaign of genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023. 

Yemenis have hit targets throughout the occupied territories, in addition to firing at Israeli ships or vessels heading to or departing Israeli-occupied ports, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
