U.S. fighter jets have launched airstrikes on Al Hudaydah Airport in western Yemen, marking a continuation of attacks on civilian facilities.

Why it matters:
The airstrikes on Al Hudaydah Airport highlight the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the impact of U.S. military involvement in the region. These actions raise concerns about civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by military operations.

The big picture:
The U.S.-led coalition has resumed its airstrikes in Yemen, targeting civilian infrastructure amid a complex and protracted conflict. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing military operations affecting both military and civilian targets, further complicating peace efforts in the region.

What he is saying:
According to the Yemeni news network Al Masirah, “U.S. warplanes conducted three attacks on Al Hudaydah International Airport, and as of the time of this report, no human casualties have been reported.” The network also stated that the bombing of Al Hudaydah Airport by the U.S. was intended to cover up the enemy's disastrous failure to influence the operations of Yemeni armed forces against the Zionist enemy.

Key points:

  • U.S. airstrikes resumed on Saturday night, targeting civilian and service facilities in Al Hudaydah.
  • Before the attacks on Al Hudaydah, U.S. fighter jets bombed areas in Saada province and other locations in Yemen.
  • The political office of Yemen's Ansarullah movement condemned U.S. and British airstrikes on residential neighborhoods in Sana as hostile and criminal acts.

Go deeper:
The ongoing military actions in Yemen, particularly by U.S. forces, underscore the complexities of the conflict and the humanitarian implications for civilians. As Yemen's armed forces pledge to counter U.S. aggression and prevent Israeli vessels from passing, the situation remains precarious.
