US-British aggression on Yemen resumed on Thursday in the Ras Issa area northwest of the western Yemeni city of Hodeidah, bringing the number of air raids on the city to nine since Wednesday evening.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported early Thursday that a joint US-British aggression targeted the al-Qutaynat area in the border district of Baqim in the northern Yemeni province of Saada.
Our correspondent mentioned that the latest aggression on Yemen did not result in significant damage, while also reporting explosions in the province of Hodeidah.
This comes less than 24 hours after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) mentioned that six missiles were fired from Yemen toward what they claimed to be "two merchant ships" on Tuesday, reportedly causing light damage to one of the vessels.
In a statement, CENTCOM said six anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) were fired toward the Southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Three of the missiles were aimed at the MV Star Nasia, a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier that is Greek-owned and operated, the military command claimed.
"MV Star Nasia reported an explosion near the ship causing minor damage but no injuries", while a second missile later landed nearby and a third was shot down by a US destroyer, CENTCOM said.
