US warplanes launched fresh airstrikes on Yemen on Wednesday evening, targeting the capital Sanaa, and the provinces of Saada and al-Bayda, an Al Mayadeen correspondent in Yemen reported.
The strikes hit areas near the Ministry of Communications and the Postal Authority in northern Sanaa.
In al-Bayda, US aircraft targeted the al-Sawadiyah district, while in Saada, airstrikes struck the outskirts of the city, the correspondent reported.
According to Yemen’s SABA news agency, the US attack on the al-Thawra district in northern Sanaa hit an unfinished event hall within a residential neighborhood.
This latest attack follows Tuesday’s US airstrikes on the provinces of Hajjah and Saada in northern and northwestern Yemen.
Retaliation for Yemen’s support of Gaza
Washington has intensified its strikes on Yemen after Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi reaffirmed that Yemen’s armed forces would escalate their operations in support of Gaza, telling Palestinians: "You are not alone."
The renewed US strikes are in retaliation against Sana’a’s support for Gaza, particularly after Yemen’s armed forces resumed their naval blockade on all Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and the Gulf of Aden. Following repeated US attacks on Yemen, American vessels were also added to the list of prohibited ships.
The United States military conducted a series of airstrikes on Yemen’s Saada and Hodeidah governorates from Tuesday night into early Wednesday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Initially, a wave of strikes targeted northern Yemen’s Saada governorate, specifically the Tukhya area in the Majz district, amid "intense US aerial activity over multiple Yemeni governorates."
Overnight, our correspondent reported that another four airstrikes targeted the al-A'sayed area in the same governorate.
Later, an aggression was launched in areas east of the port city of Hodeidah. Our correspondent also reported that two more strikes targeted a building in the al-Mina district in the western section of the Hodeidah governorate.
