Sanaa: The US military stationed in the Red Sea has conducted new airstrikes in Saada, a northern province of Yemen. According to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the strikes targeted areas surrounding the central city of Saada, a Houthi stronghold, although further details have not been provided.
These airstrikes occurred shortly after the Houthis claimed to have conducted fresh attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea and at Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel, with the latter reportedly intercepted by the Israeli military, as reported by Xinhua news agency.
Earlier on the same day, the US military executed a series of airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas, including the airport in the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah. There have been no reported casualties from these actions.
This exchange of fire is part of an ongoing air campaign that the US initiated in mid-March against Houthi territories in Yemen. The Houthis, who have controlled much of northern Yemen since the civil war began in 2014, have vowed to continue attacking Israeli targets in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and in retaliation for what they label “American aggression.”
Saada province is a key stronghold for the Houthi group, and these latest airstrikes mark the seventh consecutive day of US attacks on Houthi-held regions, including the capital city of Sanaa. On Friday, US forces had previously conducted six airstrikes on Al-Fazah, a coastal area in the At-Tuhayta district south of Hodeidah, also without reported casualties.
Tensions have heightened between the Houthis and US military forces, particularly after the US resumed airstrikes on March 15, following threats from the Houthis to attack Israeli targets until humanitarian aid is permitted into Gaza.
