News- Yemen: US warplanes launched a series of airstrikes Sunday evening targeting the capital Sana'a, and the provinces of Hodeidah and Marib.

In Sana'a, strikes hit Furwah Market in Shu'ub District, the sanitation project building in Asr (Al-Wahdah District), and the Attan area.

In Hodeidah, Kamaran Island was bombed, while in Marib, three airstrikes targeted Al-Jubah District.

This American escalation exacerbates the tragedy of civilians in Yemen after its failure to achieve a military victory, in a desperate attempt to pressure Yemen into halting its support for Gaza.  

This attack is part of a broader American military campaign that began on March 15, 2025, following Yemen’s decision to resume retaliatory strikes on Israel in response to the intensification of Israeli operations in Gaza. Since then, US airstrikes have consistently targeted civilian infrastructure across Yemen, including power stations, communication facilities, and water systems.

Washington claims the strikes are meant to safeguard freedom of navigation near Yemen’s waters. However, Yemeni authorities refute this, asserting their operations exclusively target vessels linked to Israel and are not directed at international shipping. The continued escalation by the US has significantly worsened the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, drawing condemnation from various regional and resistance movements.
