In a million-man march under the banner of "Steadfast with Gaza, confronting American escalation with escalation," Yemen's people headed to al-Sabeen Square, flooding several provinces across the capital Sanaa. 

In a statement issued by the march organizers, Yemen's support for its "brothers in Gaza" was reaffirmed, particularly in the face of all the dangers they are facing. 

"We pride ourselves on our leader's decision to impose a four-day deadline for humanitarian aid entries into Gaza before imposing the siege on the occupation's vessels," the statement said, adding "We refuse to be included in the nation's 'foam of the flood', which abandoned its kin to die of starvation and thirst at the hands of its enemy." 

The statement confirmed Sanaa's readiness to confront "all the tyrants of the earth without hesitation or fear and to make every sacrifice for that purpose."

The Yemeni mass marches also announced a comprehensive mobilization to confront the aggression and the recent American escalation through military escalation, public mobilization, and economic boycott of the enemies.

For his part, member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, confirmed that "if there is a real message, it is the mandate to the leader of the revolution."

In his speech at Sabeen Square during the marches, al-Houthi addressed US President Donald Trump, saying "You are mistaken. You do not scare us," adding that "our position is the correct one, while yours is reckless and illegitimate."

Al-Houthi also addressed the Americans, saying "Do whatever you want, for we fear none but God," pointing out that "your support for the aggression on Gaza or your bombing of Yemen is not new, as you have been waging aggression against our country for 10 years."

The member of the Supreme Political Council stressed that the US actions in Yemen and Gaza are "aggression and terrorism," vowing escalation. 

USS Harry S. Truman attacked for second time within hours

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced Monday that they had successfully targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman for the second time within hours, in addition to thwarting a planned US airstrike on Yemen.

The YAF confirmed, in a statement delivered by its spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, that the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was targeted for the second time in 24 hours in the northern Red Sea, "with a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones in an engagement that lasted for several hours."

Saree described how the YAF succeeded in thwarting a hostile attack that the enemy ship "was preparing to launch against our country," vowing that the YAF will continue to ban Israeli-linked ships from the Red Sea until the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted. 

The spokesman alluded to the speech made by Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi wherein he warned that any continued US strikes would prompt a "broad and comprehensive response." Saree announced that the YAF would move forward with implementing retaliation.

US warplanes launched two airstrikes today on a cotton gin in the Zabeid district of al-Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
