1 killed as US keeps up deadly escalation against Yemen
A civilian has been killed in the Yemeni capital Sana’a as the United States retains its campaign of intensified military aggression against the Arab Peninsula nation.
The fatal attack hit the al-Nahda neighborhood in the al-Thawra District of the city on Wednesday, an official told Yemen’s Saba news agency.
The attack was part of a larger series of raids on the city that also hit the al-Sabeen District’s al-Hafa area on at least 14 occasions.
Beyond the capital, several other locations were additionally targeted.
These included the Naqil al-Fardah area of the Nihm Distric in the Sana’a Province. The province’s Bani Hushaysh District and Manakhah area, meanwhile, came under similar American aggression.
In the western Yemeni province of al-Hydaydah, American aircraft carried out four attacks.
Details on potential further casualties from the raids were not immediately available.
The United States intensified its deadly attacks on the country last month on President Donald Trump’s direct orders.
Washington claims the raids are strictly aimed at protecting shipping activity around Yemen, alleging that the regional waterways’ maritime security had been endangered by Sana’a.
Yemeni officials have, however, roundly rejected such claims, underlining that the country only targeted vessels belonging to the Israeli regime and ships taking supplies to it.
The operations implemented by Yemen’s Armed Forces began in October 2023, when the Israeli regime, the US’s most cherished regional ally, began taking the Gaza Strip under a genocidal war.
Around 51,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed as a result of the warfare, which receives hugely enhanced and unstinting arms support on the part of Washington.
