US warplanes carried out a series of intense airstrikes on Sunday, targeting multiple locations in the Yemeni provinces of Hodeidah, Sanaa, and Marib, in what appears to be a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, according to Al-Qahera News.
The strikes mark the latest in a series of US military operations in Yemen, which began escalating in late 2023 when Yemeni Houthi group launched ballistic missiles and armed drones at Israel, demanding an end to the invasion of the Gaza Strip. Washington has since carried out repeated air raids aimed at degrading the military capabilities of the group, which the US administration accuses of destabilizing the region.
Details on the latest strikes, including casualties or damage assessments, have yet to be released. The US Department of Defense has not issued an official statement.
The renewed military activity underscores the fragility of the security situation in Yemen and raises concerns about further escalation in a country already gripped by years of war and humanitarian crisis.
