A series of US airstrikes targeted al-Tuhayat district in southern Hodeidah province, western Yemen, on Wednesday evening, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.
On Tuesday, US warplanes launched strikes on al-Salim district in Saada, in northern Yemen. The attacks also extended westward to Kamaran Island, part of Hodeidah province in the Red Sea, and al-Salif district in Hodeidah.
Earlier that same day, at dawn, the US carried out attacks on the capital Sanaa, as well as the provinces of Marib and Hodeidah, in a fresh escalation of air raids.
Overnight, US aircraft targeted the northern part of the city of Saada with three strikes. Our correspondent reported that in total, nine strikes targeted the province. Another six strikes targeted areas east of Mount Naqam in Sanaa. Later, another three strikes launched by US forces targeted Mount Naqam itself.
Al-Mashat orders strict boycott of American goods
As the US continues its aggression against Yemen, Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Supreme Political Council, directed the Sanaa government to issue a ban on the entry of American goods and to enforce measures against those violating this decision.
Al-Mashat instructed the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment to grant a three-month period, starting Wednesday, to eliminate the presence of any American products in Yemeni markets.
He emphasized that "strict measures will be taken against anyone who violates the boycott decision," urging the Yemeni people to also boycott individuals or businesses that do not comply with the ban on American and Israeli goods.
Operations continue against 'Israel'
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday two military operations against vital Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The YAF's Missile Force carried out a top-tier military operation targeting a vital Israeli site in the occupied Haifa area using a hypersonic ballistic missile, spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said.
He confirmed that the missile successfully reached its target and that the Israeli interception systems failed to stop it, adding that the strike caused widespread fear and panic among settlers, with more than two million Israelis reportedly rushing to shelters.
Meanwhile, the YAF's UAV Unit carried out another military operation, attacking another vital Israeli site in the occupied Palestinian city of Yafa [Tel Aviv] with a drone of the Yafa type, the spokesperson added.
Ceaseless US attacks
Saree said the operations were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in rejection of the genocide in Gaza being committed by "Israel" with US support.
The YAF spokesperson reiterated that the Yemeni people will neither retreat nor abandon their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties and will continue their path of Resistance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people until the Israeli war on Gaza ends and the siege imposed on the enclave is lifted.
On Tuesday evening, US aircraft carried out four airstrikes on the al-Salem district in Saada, northern Yemen, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, adding that US-led strikes targeted Kamaran Island in the Red Sea in western Yemen, in addition to two airstrikes on the al-Salif district.
The bombing came after the YAF announced downing an American MQ-9 drone off the coast of Hajjah province that was conducting "hostile missions" in Yemeni airspace.
