The United States and Britain carried out on Wednesday an aggression on Yemen, targeting the al-Qutaynat area in the Baqim District in Saada province, northern Yemen.
Joint US-UK attacks on Yemeni areas governed by Sanaa have been ongoing since January in attempts to stop Yemeni operations in support of Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced earlier this week conducting six military operations in just 72 hours.
These operations included the targeting of the US-owned and flagged MAERSK SARATOGA container ship in the Gulf of Aden, US-owned APL DETRIOT container ship and UK-owned W HUANG PU in the Red Sea, and the PRETTY LADY bulk carrier, which was heading to Israeli-occupied ports in Palestine.

Two large-scale operations were also carried out against two US destroyers in the Red Sea.
On its part, the Yemeni Missile Force also revealed it had targeted Israeli positions in occupied Um al-Rashash ("Eilat") on the Red Sea.
Louder than words
Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said last week that the capabilities of the Yemeni Armed Forces have notably grown, and this was evident in the unprecedented usage of ballistic missiles to strike naval vessels.
In a speech about the latest developments in Yemen and the region, Sayyed al-Houthi said the United States, despite its advanced capabilities and weapons, has failed, and it admitted its failure to deter and prevent Yemeni operations in support of Palestine.
He saw that the lack of movement of British, American, and Israeli ships in the Red and Arabian Seas was one of the indications of the success of the Yemeni forces.
Finally, on the operations, the Ansar Allah chief preluded greater and more important and influential developments, without giving details, saying, "Actions speak louder than words. Words can come in later."
