US-UK Launch Airstrikes on Yemen Amid Escalating Regional Tensions
The US-British aggression against Yemen intensified early Thursday with multiple airstrikes targeting key areas, including the capital Sanaa, Hodeidah, and Amran governorates. These attacks come as Yemeni armed forces continue their military operations at sea and against Israeli occupation forces in support of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
US-UK Airstrikes Hit Yemen’s Capital and Key Governorates
The latest wave of US-UK airstrikes struck several regions across Yemen, with a total of six raids recorded. According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Sanaa, the aggression targeted:
- Jarban area in the Sanhan district, south of Sanaa, with two raids.
- Harf Sufyan district in Amran governorate, north of Yemen, with three airstrikes.
- Al-Luhayyah district in Hodeidah governorate, western Yemen, with one airstrike.
On Wednesday, the coalition conducted additional airstrikes in Sanaa and Harf Sufyan, using missiles launched from warships positioned in the Red Sea.
This escalation follows the recent US-UK airstrikes on Sunday, which struck the eastern part of Saada Governorate, causing significant damage to public and private property.

Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, condemned the US-UK aggression, emphasizing that Yemen will not waver in its principled stance of faith, humanity, and morality.
Al-Houthi declared that the attacks have only strengthened Yemen’s military capabilities, vowing that the aggression will not diminish Yemen’s position or its resolve. He further stated Yemen remains committed to supporting Palestinian resistance in Gaza against Israeli occupation forces.
