US President Donald Trump ordered military action on Yemen on March 17 in retaliation of the Yemeni Armed Forces' stand with Gaza as "Israel" resumed its war on the Strip.

The United States has continued its aggression on Yemen by striking several locations in the country on Saturday night.

US warplanes targeted the Hodeidah International Airport in 3 separate airstrikes, in addition to the Al-Manzar area, south of the coastal city of Hodeidah in western Yemen, while 5 airstrikes targeted the Manzar directorate in northeastern Yemen.

This closely follows a renewal of the US-led aggression on Yemen, ramping up its attacks in various parts of the country.

US intensifies airstrikes on Yemen

On March 21, the United States resumed its airstrikes on Yemeni cities, hitting the al-Tuhayta District in Hodeidah governorate along the Red Sea in southwestern Yemen, as well as the al-Asayid district in Saada governorate in the north.

In Hodeidah, US aircraft carried out six airstrikes on the al-Tuhayta District, while multiple raids targeted the Saada governorate.  

In al-Bayda, US aircraft targeted the al-Sawadiyah district, while in Saada, airstrikes struck the outskirts of the city, our correspondent reported, while Yemen’s SABA news agency reported that the US attack on the al-Thawra district in northern Sanaa hit an unfinished event hall within a residential neighborhood.

Yemen's commitment to Palestine unaffected

The Foreign Minister of the Sanaa-based government, Jamal Amer, underlined on March 18 that Yemen would not scale back its operations against Israeli shipping in the Red Sea in response to US military pressure or appeals from allies such as Iran.

His remarks came after the US launched an aggression with a series of strikes on Yemeni territory on March 17, after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced last week that they were resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.  

US President Donald Trump stated on March 16 that he would hold Iran accountable for any attacks carried out by Yemen.

"There will be no talk of any dialing down of operations before ending the aid blockade in Gaza. Iran is not interfering in our decision but what is happening is that it mediates sometimes but it cannot dictate things," Amer explained.

"[The US] is threatening Iran and hitting Yemen. Now all scenarios are possible. We will do what they will do to us. If they are hitting us from (US aircraft carrier USS Harry S.) Truman, we will retaliate by hitting Truman," the Yemeni minister warned.

Since November 2023, the YAF carried out more than 100 attacks in a show of solidarity with Gaza. They suspended their operations when the ceasefire took effect in January, resuming them when "Israel" reinforced its blockade of the Strip and resumed its aggression on Gaza.
