The United States and the United Kingdom launched seven airstrikes on the Abs district of the Hajjah Governorate, northwest of the country, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Friday.

A source familiar with the matter said the US-British airstrikes did not target any vital or sensitive targets.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Yemeni capital Sanaa confirmed Thursday that a US-British aggression targeted the coastal city of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, west of Yemen.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) had earlier claimed that the destroyer shot down an anti-ship missile fired from Yemen toward the Red Sea and that no injuries or damage were reported

The latest Yemeni announcement nips in the bud CENTCOM's claim and an earlier CNN report that cited four US officials as saying that a Yemeni missile came within one mile of USS Gravely before it was able to shoot it down.

The CNN report claimed that the attack on USS Gravely was the closest a YAF attack has come to a US warship in a series of attempts to hit US warships in the Red Sea. However, on January 25, YAF spokesperson Yahya Saree confirmed a confrontation with several US destroyers and warships in the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Bab al-Mandab.

Back then, the spokesperson for the YAF confirmed that the results of the confrontation included "directly hitting an American warship and forcing two American merchant ships to retreat and return."

The Yemeni Armed Forces employed "a number of ballistic missiles" in the operation that lasted for more than two hours, he specified, revealing that a number of these missiles reached their targets, despite the attempts of the warships to intercept them.

In the wake of the aggressions carried out by the United Kingdom, the YAF on Thursday night targeted a British cargo ship sailing through the Red Sea toward Israeli-occupied Palestinian ports with anti-ship missiles, Saree announced.

The spokesperson said the Naval operation came in support of the Palestinian people and in response to the American and British aggression on Yemen.

"The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea against Israeli vessels or ships heading to the occupied ports of Palestine will continue until the cessation of aggression and the lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip."

Ansar Allah political bureau member Mohammad al-Bukhaiti announced in late January that regardless of the strikes carried out on Yemen, "Our military operations against Israel will continue until the genocidal crimes in Gaza end."
