Houthi-Afileated Outlet Al Masirah says the US has launched a series of strikes in several locations across the country.
Yemen’s Houtis said it had shot down a US drone attacking the Northwest Governor Hajija while Al Masria news outlet reported that the US air force had targeted at least three regions around the country.
In a statement Tuesday, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said the group’s “air defense is shooting down the hostile American MQ-9 Reaper drone and carrying out hostile missions on Governor Hajjah’s spaceship.”
Sally claimed that this was the seventh US drone that the group has ever fallen this month, and that the 22nd day began 18 months ago since the Israeli massacre war against Gaza.
Al Masila, an outlet related to houthi, said a series of strikes on Tuesday night targeting Kamran Island in the Red Sea, struck Al Salihu district in western Yemen, and four airstrikes have been reported in Al Salem district in Sada province, north of the country.
The US has been carrying out a deadly air attack on what it claims to be a target for Yemeni Houthi, killing more than 200 people, including women and children, since March.
US President Donald Trump’s administration warned that military movements will continue until Yemeni Group stops firing all fires on ships in the Red Sea, the main conduit of international trade.
Houthis rejects US attacks, highlighting its targeting ships in solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza, and stops when Israel ends a punishment war against the enclave.
The latest attack comes days after 12 people were killed in a US-led air attack in Yemen’s capital Sanaa.
Last week, the US launched 13 strikes at Hodeida ports and airports. Three days after previous deadly attacks, it targeted the port of Ras Isa in Hodeida, killing at least 80 people and injuring more than 150 people.
Since November 2023, Houthis reportedly has launched more than 100 attacks on vessels that it says are related to Israel in response to Israeli war with Gaza.
The group halted attacks on the transport lanes earlier this year in a two-month ceasefire in Gaza. However, they pledged to resume their strikes after Israel renewed its attack on the enclave last month.
Houthi’s attack paralyzed the transport through the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal is a key waterway where around 12% of the world’s transport traffic normally passes, forcing many businesses to resort to costly alternative routes around South Africa’s Cape Happiness.
