News - Yemen: Yemen’s Armed Forces announced on Sunday that they will not let the recent series of airstrikes conducted by the United States and Britain in the Yemeni capital Sana’a and other regions of the country go unanswered.

Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e reported that the US-UK aggression carried out 48 air raids on the Yemeni provinces of Sana’a, Hodeidah, Sa’adah, Al-Baidha, Taiz, and Lahij.

“These attacks will not discourage Yemeni forces and the nation from maintaining their support for Palestinians in the face of the Zionist occupation and crimes,” he added. “The aggressors' airstrikes will not go unanswered.”

Late on Saturday, the US and UK executed new strikes on Yemen utilizing air and surface platforms, including fighter jets, with the backing of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.

In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed that the strikes aim to "degrade" Yemen’s capabilities for naval pro-Palestine operations.

Israel initiated a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group against the occupying regime.

The US has provided unwavering support for Israel during the aggression, resulting in the death of at least 27,238 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, and injuring 66,452 others.

In solidarity with the Palestinians in besieged Gaza, Yemeni forces have targeted Israel-bound ships in the southern Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea.

In response to the pro-Palestine maritime campaign, the US and its allies have bombed Yemen in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.

The illicit attacks prompted Yemen to declare American and British vessels as legitimate targets for its armed forces.
