US and British forces have conducted fresh airstrikes targeting Yemen’s northwestern city of Sa’ada, mere days following the alliance’s aerial bombardment of the western coastal province of Hudaydah.

Yemen’s official Saba news agency, citing a local source speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that the Western military alliance carried out three aerial attacks east of the provincial capital city of Sa’ada early on Sunday.

There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage caused and possible casualties.

On December 30, the US-British naval coalition launched two airstrikes on Yemen’s western coastal province of Hudaydah, targeting the at-Tuhayta district in the southwest of the province.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel did not provide further details at the time, but residents in the district said on social media that two powerful explosions shook their homes.

Yemen slams missile into northern part of occupied territories

Yemen’s Armed Forces fire a missile towards the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, hitting their intended target accurately.

Yemeni armed forces have intensified retaliatory operations against Israeli assets within the occupied territories in support of Palestinians in Gaza facing a genocidal war.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the occupying entity.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has also been targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

These operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis.

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

Israel has killed at least 45,717 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured another 108,856 individuals in Gaza since the onset of the war.
