At least two people have been killed in Yemen in new round of airstrikes by US warplanes, part of Washington-led aerial campaign to pressure the Arab country into halting its support for Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In an airstrike on Wednesday evening, US fighter jets pounded Ras al-Isa area in the Salif district of Yemen’s western province of al-Hudaydah, killing at least one person and wounding another one, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported.
U-S warplanes also conducted an airstrike on the Qahza district in Sana’a governorate, targeting a civilian car.
The United States also carried out air raids on Sa’ada governorate. According to local sources, American warplanes targeted various areas southeast of Sa’ada city with nearly 20 airstrikes.
Earlier in the day, Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement said that a US airstrike targeted drinking water tanks in al-Sanaif village in Hudaydah’s al-Mansuriyah district, leaving at least 50,000 without access to water as the reservoirs provided drinking water to eight villages.
Separately on Wednesday evening, another US airstrike on a telecom facility in al-Jablah district in Yemen’s west-central Ibb province killed at least one person, the Yemeni health ministry reported.
On Tuesday, the resistance movement reported that US airstrikes in al-Hudaydah killed four people and injured three, while three additional strikes hit Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen without causing casualties.
For the third consecutive week, US airstrikes have continued across Yemen during the night.
The Yemeni health ministry’ figures show that since mid-March, US airstrikes in Yemen have claimed the lives of at least 61 civilians and wounded 139 others.
Last month, US President Donald Trump stressed that he had authorized “decisive and powerful military action” against Yemen’s military and the resistance movement and later threatened to “completely annihilate them.”
Yemenis have been hitting Israeli and American targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, and in response to the American-British aggression on their homeland.
The operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for the Israelis.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.
