Another strike hit the western Yemen province of al-Hudaydah, which is controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah), late on January 14, less than 24 hours after an attack that was blamed on the United States and the United Kingdom.
The Sanaa-based Saba News Agency, which is run by the Houthi-led government, said that the strike targeted Jida mount in the district of Alluhayah on the coast of the Red Sea. No casualties were reported by the news agency.
Several drones of the U.S. military were reportedly spotted over different parts of al-Hudayah at the time of the strike.
The U.S. and UK, with the support of Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, carried out a series of strikes against dozens of Houthis positions in al-Hudaydah and several other parts of Yemen, including the capital, early on January 12.
Seven fighters of the Houthis were killed in the strikes, which Washington said were carried to ensure the security of shipping in the Red Sea.
The Houthis, who are considered a part of the Iran-led Axis of Resistance, attacked several Israel-affiliated ships in Waters near Yemen in recent weeks as a response to the Israeli war on the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
Later on January 12, the U.S. said that it carried out a “follow-on action” on its own, targeting a radar site of the Houthis in an air base near Sanaa.
More strikes hit a military position of the Houthis near al-Hudaydah city late on January 13. A source close to the group told the Sputnik news agency that the strikes were carried out by the U.S. and the UK. However, the Pentagon later denied any involvement. This led to speculations that Israel was behind the strikes. The Houthis attacked the southernmost Israeli city of Eilat more than once in recent weeks. Israel said that it will respond.
Despite inflicting some losses, the recent strikes didn’t deter the Houthis who vowed to respond and said that they will continue to attack Israel-affiliated ships in nearby waters.
but i thought that the houthis would fight back? lmao 😆😆😆
if you know anything about the yemenis you would not wish that. im fearful of what they might be planning. they wont attack a us naval ship because they know if americans are killed the us public may support escalation which the neo cons are desperate for. i wouldn’t put it past them to go after a lesser ally. remember it was a british colony. the british gave up and left in 1967 due to the level of casualties they sustained including special forces.
when i sodomize sawyer never fight back
the rogue empire is at their tempestuous unlawful undeclared war unconstitutionally, once again!
the party hasn’t even started yet and the $lumvillains are already frothing at the snout, like their khazar bosses in occupied palestine. yankestan pounds sand at a couple of million dollahs a pop while the juice smashes rubble to dust as their burning merkavas grill shlomos day in day out. this can only get better as the bankrupt anglozionazi empire goes belly up and the civil war reloads in $lumville proper.
