The United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) have carried out strikes on positions in Yemen in a new wave of attacks against the Yemeni military, which has been targeting Israeli interests in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians.
Yemen’s official Saba news agency, citing a security source speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that three aerial assaults targeted the eastern flank of the northwestern city of Sa’asa, which is located some 540 kilometers (336 miles) north of the capital Sana’a, early on Tuesday, reports Press TV.
There were no immediate reports about possible casualties and the extent of damage caused.
The latest development came only a few hours after US and British warplanes struck two targets in the al-Katheeb region of the strategic western province of Hudaydah, with no quick reports about victims and damage available.
The US and UK have been carrying out strikes against Yemen after the Biden administration and its allies offered the Tel Aviv regime unqualified support and said that Yemeni forces bear the consequences of their attacks against Israeli-owned ships or merchant vessels heading to the occupied territories.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
