US ‘brutality’ would not cover up its military failure in Yemen: Ansarullah spox
The spokesperson for Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has vehemently denounced the deadly US airstrikes on a migrant detention center in the country’s northwestern province of Sa’ada as “a heinous crime,” stressing that Washington’s can’t obscure its fiasco in Yemen through such vicious attacks.
Mohammed Abdulsalam wrote on X that the US “brutality” would “not cover up the military failure it is suffering in its aggression against Yemen, and continuing the aggression will not bring it any achievement.
“The US administration perpetrated an appalling crime against African migrants this morning, and bombed the building accommodating them in Sa’ada province,” Mohammed Abdulsalam stated on Monday.
The Ansarullah spokesman further noted that the international silence in the face of US crimes allows the country to press ahead with its bloody campaign by targeting civilian complexes and later alleging they were military installations.
“US resorting to such claims does not create a new reality. The incontrovertible fact is that they (US statesmen) are criminals and terrorists,” Abdulsalam said.
At least 68 people were killed and 47 others injured in US airstrikes on a shelter for African migrants in Yemen’s northern city of Sa’ada on Monday.
The Yemeni Interior Ministry said the attacks targeted a shelter center housing 115 migrants from African nationalities.
It said the targeted shelter is supervised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), calling the US assaults “a full-fledged war crime.”
Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel said the 68 bodies were recovered from the rubble after civil defense teams put out the fire that resulted from the US airstrikes. The injured were taken to hospitals.
In reaction to the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza and the aggression of the US and UK against Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces have initiated a series of strikes aimed at Israeli, American, and British interests in the Red Sea and adjacent regions.
As the genocidal war on Gaza escalated, the Yemenis enacted a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, with the goal of obstructing the delivery of military supplies to Israel and urging the international community to take action regarding the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared they will continue their assaults until Israel ceases its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza.
