The United States and Britain launched early on Wednesday a new joint aggression against Yemen, targeting the al-Arj and al-Jabana areas in the Hodeidah coastal governorate with several strikes.
The aggression came shortly after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced over the past three days a series of operations against US and Israeli targets.
Spokesperson Brigadier-General Yahya Saree said in a Tuesday statement that the Yemeni Air Force's drone unit launched several drones against hostile US warships in the Red and Arabian Seas, and another batch targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in "Eilat" (occupied Umm el-Rashash).

Saree also confirmed that the Yemeni naval forces targeted an Israeli ship, MSC SILVER, in the Gulf of Aden with a number of unspecified naval missiles.
Meanwhile, the attacks on Monday included two US ships in the Red Sea. The general confirmed the vessels were directly hit, and gave an update on an operation announced on Sunday; declaring that British ship RUBYMAR has sunk less than 24 hours after being struck by Yemeni missiles.
The Yemeni army also downed a US-made MQ-9 Reaper drone on Sunday, valued at over $30 million, using undisclosed surface-to-air missiles.
The general reiterated that the operations come "in support of the Palestinian people, who are still facing the Israeli aggression and siege, and in response to the US and British aggression on our country."
