The US aggression on Yemen continues, targeting a location north of Yemen's capital Sanaa on Wednesday as Yemen announces more civilians killed from previous aggressions.
An American raid targeted the northeastern area of Yemen's capital, Sanaa, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Meanwhile, the toll from the American aggression in the Hodeidah province, western Yemen, on Tuesday has risen to 12 martyrs and 15 wounded, and rescue operations are still ongoing to extract victims trapped under the rubble, the Yemeni Health Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The Yemeni Foreign Ministry stated that the US aggression has resulted in the martyrdom of 107 civilians and the injury of 223 others, mostly women and children, since mid-March last year.
The ministry warned that "the continuation of aggression and escalation against Yemen will be met with greater and more painful escalation," stressing that "security and stability in the region can only be achieved by ending the aggression and siege on Gaza."
This comes as US officials warn the Yemen campaign is depleting arms needed to deter China, forcing potential transfers from Asia while achieving limited success against Ansar Allah missiles and drones.
US spending billions on Yemen strikes with limited impact
Although US President Donald Trump has described Ansar Allah as “decimated” by what the Pentagon has dubbed Operation Rough Rider, launched on March 15, military and intelligence officials speaking to Congress and allies in private briefings admit that most of the Yemenis' vast underground arsenal of missiles and drones remains intact.
CNN revealed that the military offensive against Sanaa has cost the US nearly $1 billion in less than three weeks, despite the limited impact the strikes have had on Yemeni capabilities.
The Yemeni Armed Forces recently conducted two major military operations: One targeting Tel Aviv with a Yaffa-type drone and the other targeting two US Navy warships with several cruise missiles and drones, according to an announcement by the spokesperson for the YAF Brig. Gen. Yehya Saree on April 7.
In his announcement, General Saree affirmed that the US crimes against the people of Yemen and the targeting of civilian facilities "confirm the enemy's failure to achieve its objectives," highlighting that "these crimes will only increase the Yemenis' steadfastness and adherence to their unwavering position in support of the Palestinian people."
