The US and the UK have carried out fresh aerial assaults on Yemen as the Arab country continues its retaliatory operations against Israel.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported that Thursday's strikes targeted the districts of Jarban, al-Luhayyah, and Harf Sufyan, situated in Sana'a, Hudaydah, and Amran provinces, respectively, Press TV reported.  

The report, however, provided no information about possible casualties or damage.

On Wednesday, the report added, US and British fighter jets also conducted air raids on Amran and Sana'a provinces. 

Meanwhile, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its warplanes had targeted two underground weapons caches belonging to Ansarullah resistance movement, without specifying the location of the attacks.

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 attacks came in response to Yemen’s campaign in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid a genocidal Israeli war.

As part of their campaign, the Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted ships heading to or departing ports in the occupied territories, or those linked to Israel, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea.
