As of now, accurate information regarding the extent of the attacks and details of the US air operations against Yemen have not been fully disclosed. However, US warships and fighter jets, with the support of British refueling aircraft and operations from bases in Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, and Cyprus, have conducted a large-scale attack on Yemen. Also, the US reportedly carried out 40 airstrikes against Yemen from the Saudi airspace.

According to the latest statistics from the Yemeni Ministry of Health, these attacks have resulted in the deaths of 31 people and injuries to 101 civilians, with many of the casualties being women and children.

Mahdi Al-Mashat, Chairman of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Abdul Salam, spokesman for the Ansar Allah movement, and representatives from the Yemeni Foreign Ministry along with several other official Yemeni institutions condemned these attacks. They emphasized that the US aggression will not go unanswered and that Yemen will continue to support its people and the Palestinian resistance.

Palestinian groups, particularly Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as the Iraqi resistance and the Iranian Foreign Ministry, issued statements condemning the US attacks and expressing solidarity with the Yemeni people.

In his remarks about the operation, US President Donald Trump described Ansar Allah as engaged in an alleged continuous campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism, blaming them for obstructing shipping in one of the world’s most important waterways, the Red Sea. Trump also issued a direct warning to Iran, stating that the era of the Houthis is over, and called for an end to support for Yemen and their attacks. He also threatened that if these attacks do not cease, Yemenis would experience unimaginable suffering.
