US, Britain launch new airstrikes against Yemen’s Ta’izz, Hudaydah

The United States and the United Kingdom have launched a string of airstrikes against targets in Yemen’s southwestern province of Ta’izz and the strategic western province of Hudaydah as Yemeni forces continue their maritime operations against Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea.

Yemen’s official Saba news agency, citing a security source speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that an airstrike hit the At-Ta’iziyah district in Ta’izz province early on Sunday. No further details about any casualties were immediately available.

The development came hours after US and British forces conducted four strikes against the al-Durayhimi district in Yemen’s coastal province of Hudaydah.

Houthi: Americans will have to face severe punishment

Meanwhile, a top-ranking member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has denounced continued US strikes across Yemen, emphasizing that Washington will have to face a severe punishment for the open aggression.

“It is completely out of the question to welcome Americans with wreaths of flowers, as they are wreaking havoc throughout Yemeni soil and territorial waters. Americans should rather expect harsh retaliation and punishment,” Mohammad Ali al-Houthi said on Saturday night.

He went on to send out a warning to US military forces, stating that the Yemeni nation’s high morale will eventually prevail over them.
