Yemen vows ‘professional and painful’ response to US strikes

Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has condemned the deadly US aggression against the country in support of Israel, pledging that the nation will punish the criminal regime in a “painful” manner, Press TV reported.      

It made the announcement on Sunday, a day after the US carried out large-scale military strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sana'a and the provinces of Sa’ada, Dhamar, Hajjah, and al-Bayda.

At least 31 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the aerial and naval attacks ordered by US President Donald Trump.

The Supreme Political Council said that targeting civilians proves the US's failure in confrontation, adding that the aggression will not deter Yemenis from supporting Gaza but will instead escalate tensions.

“The punishment of the aggressors against Yemen will be carried out professionally and painfully, by the will of God,” it warned.

It also noted that the airstrikes on Yemen mark a return to the militarization of the Red Sea, posing a real threat to international navigation in the region.

The US, along with the Zionist entity, will fail and retreat in disgrace and defeat, just as they did during their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, it noted.

Meanwhile, the council called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in the face of the “reckless US-Israeli aggression,” which will have consequences for all.

“Yemen remains committed to supporting and assisting Palestine and that naval operations will continue until the blockade on Gaza is lifted and humanitarian aid is allowed in,” it said.

The aggression came a few days after the Yemeni Armed Forces resumed their maritime operation against Israeli-linked ships in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea over the Tel Aviv regime’s blockade on Gaza.
