US warplanes launched two airstrikes today on a cotton gin in the Zabeid district of al-Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen,  Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported. 

Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi denounced the latest US airstrikes on Yemen, describing them as a "brutal and unjust aggression" aimed at "supporting the Israeli enemy."

In a televised speech on Sunday evening, Sayyed al-Houthi stated, "The American enemy has launched a new attack on our country. This is a blatant and oppressive act of aggression, and its primary goal is to provide direct support to the Zionist regime."

Furthermore, he asserted that Washington’s military campaign would fail, saying, "This aggression is doomed to failure. It will not achieve its objectives of weakening our military capabilities. On the contrary, it will only push us to enhance our strength further."

Sayyed al-Houthi issued a direct warning to US forces operating in the region, declaring, "The American enemy, its warships, aircraft carriers, and naval assets will now be targeted. The blockade that was initially imposed solely on Israeli vessels will now extend to include the Americans as well."

He stressed that any continued US strikes would prompt a "broad and comprehensive response," adding, "If the aggression on our country persists, we will escalate further. Our people will not stand idly by—they will move decisively and forcefully."

In response to the US aggression, the Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed they had targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea. The attack involved 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones.

US-UK launch aggression on Yemen

This quickly followed the launch of US-led aggression on Yemen after the expiry of the 4-day deadline set by the Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi for mediators to urge "Israel" to reinstate the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday the launch of military strikes against Yemen's Ansar Allah in response to the group's operations in the Red Sea, warning that if they did not cease targeting Israeli and Israeli-affiliated commercial vessels along with US warships operating in the region, "hell will rain down upon you."

"The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective," Trump posted on Truth Social. 

The NYT reported that the United States launched large-scale military strikes against "dozens of targets" in Yemen, stating that US President Trump ordered airstrikes on alleged "radars, air defenses, and missile and drone systems," while Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that multiple airstrikes by the US-UK coalition targeted residential neighborhoods, leading to civilian casualties.

The aggression against Yemen follows the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of the resumption of military action against all Israeli-linked vessels in a designated zone in the bodies of water surrounding Yemen.
