The United States has launched another airstrike on the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, killing at least 12 civilians and injuring over 30 others.
The deadly US aggression was carried out in a crowded market in the al-Farwa neighborhood in the Sha'ub district on Monday morning.
The death toll is expected to rise as many people are still trapped under the rubble of buildings destroyed in the attack.
Other parts of Sana’a, including the Attan area and al-Wahda District, were also the scene of violent American airstrikes.
Separately, US strikes targeted areas in the Sa’ada governorate, in the country’s far north, the central governorate of Ma’rib, AND Hudaydah in the west.
On Sunday, several US air attacks were carried out in Yemen, including strikes on Sana’a, killing at least three.
Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel, citing a statement by the Ministry of Public Health and Population, announced that the US military launched 21 airstrikes on Sana’a as well as its western, eastern, and southern outskirts on Saturday night.
The US military has been carrying out almost daily attacks on Yemen for the past month, claiming that they are aimed at stopping the Ansarullah movement’s attacks on Israel-related ships.
The Yemeni army, however, said it will not stop its attacks on Israel-bound vessels until the regime halts its Gaza aggression.
More than 200 people have been killed in the US aggression against Yemen since March.
In response to Israeli atrocities in Gaza and US-UK aggression against Yemen, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a series of attacks targeting Israeli, American, and British interests in the Red Sea and surrounding areas in late 2023.
As the genocidal war against Gaza intensified, the Yemenis implemented a strategic blockade of key maritime routes, aiming to disrupt the flow of military supplies to their adversaries and exert pressure on the international community to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
