The United States and the United Kingdom launched a series of five air raids on Yemen's al-Hodeidah on Monday in yet another act of aggression from the hostile imperialist nations.

The airstrikes targeted the area of Rass Issa in the al-Salif district of the coastal Yemeni city, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

The United States and the United Kingdom's militaries launched late Saturday aggression on Yemeni territories, targeting the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

The US-UK-launched strikes targeted the Nahdayn and Attan mountains to the south of the Yemeni capital, as well as military maintenance centers to the north of the capital.

Three airstrikes also targeted a factory next to the Technical Institute in Hay al-Nahda, resulting in a fire and damage to the factory.

Yemeni media also reported that the aggression targeted al-Dailami air base, north of the capital Sanaa.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the strikes coincided with heavy flights of American and British fighter jets and aircraft over the Yemeni capital.

He also reported that 22 joint American-British aggression airstrikes targeted the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the provinces of Hajjah and Taiz.

Meanwhile, US and British forces carried out Saturday a fresh wave of strikes against 18 targets across eight locations in Yemen, a joint statement said.

US hegemony is over

The Yemeni Defense Minister in Sanaa declared on Sunday that the era of "hegemonic influence" over international waters is over, reaffirming that the armed forces' operations will continue until the Israeli war on Gaza comes to an end.

"The US, London, and Israel have to realize that control over geography and claiming guardianship over the seas has become a rejected and unwelcome approach," Major General Mohammed al-Atifi said at a graduation ceremony of Yemeni cadets in Hodeidah.

The General praised the army's operations and stressed that maritime security in the Red and Arabian Seas has been properly redefined now that Israeli destabilization in them has been put to an end.

On Western allegations that Yemen is posing a risk to international maritime trade, he reiterated that attacks are exclusive to Israeli and "Israel"-linked ships.

"We reaffirm that the Yemeni Armed Forces will not target any ships that are neither affiliated with the Zionist enemy nor serving its interests. Marine navigation for vessels through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea is safe," the Defense Minister said.

"Sanaa is committed to all international treaties and conventions that do not infringe upon Yemeni dignity and sovereignty or subject it to hegemony and foreign mandates," he continued.

The top military official vowed that "as long as the Zionists’ atrocities continue in Gaza, we will continue our operations against the usurping entity. Washington has aided and abetted the Zionist entity to forge ahead with its genocidal war on our Palestinian brothers and sisters."
