US and UK Conduct New Airstrikes on Yemen's Al Hudaydah

Published March 21, 2024

In a recent military action, the United States and the United Kingdom have conducted airstrikes on the Al Mina District within Yemen's Al Hudaydah Governorate. These operations are part of a collaboration against Yemen in support of Israel, which was publicly announced by both nations in December.

So far, the specifics regarding the impact of these strikes in terms of casualties and property damage have not been disclosed. The local area remains tense and watchful for further developments.

These events are unfolding against a backdrop of regional conflict and political statements of solidarity. The Yemeni populace has shown a united front in their support for Palestinians amidst an ongoing conflict, which was escalated by attacks in Gaza starting October 7. These were in response to a coordinated offensive by Palestinian Resistance groups, labeled as Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.

Reports indicate that Yemeni Armed Forces have taken a firm stance, vowing to continue their hostile actions against Israel until the latter ceases its comprehensive military incursions in Gaza. These incursions have reportedly resulted in a significant number of casualties, including tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.

The latest airstrikes by the US and UK signify an ongoing commitment to their military objectives in the region, within the context of geopolitical dynamics that include a broader military coalition and intersecting support for Israel.
