US-British Aggression Target Yemeni capital of Sanaa

A violent explosion rocked the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Saturday evening, with reports of intensive fighter jet activity in the skies. Media reports confirmed that two airstrikes targeted Mount Attan, located south of the city.

According to Yemen’s state news agency SABA, the airstrikes were carried out by American-British warplanes in an act of aggression against Sanaa’s Attan area. However, Israeli media quickly denied any involvement, despite the escalating tensions between Israel and Yemen.

These tensions have been further fueled by Israel’s increasing threats against Sanaa, particularly in light of Yemen’s continued support for Palestine and its resistance movement.

In a statement, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed responsibility for the airstrikes, stating that they targeted an Ansar Allah “missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility.” CENTCOM asserted that the attack aimed “to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden.”

The statement also said that CENTCOM forces shot down multiple Houthi one-way attack drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea, and that the aggression involved U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy assets, including F/A-18 fighter jets.

In response, Sanaa’s Information Minister Hashem Sharaf al-Din commented that Washington has “learned from [past] mistakes,” but added that the US will continue to be “humiliated” by the Yemeni people. Meanwhile, Sanaa’s Foreign Minister Jamal Ahmad Amer warned that any state assisting Israeli aggression on Yemen would be considered a partner in the aggression.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the “Israeli” occupation since the entity launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, against the occupying entity.
