The raids came just hours after the Houthis claimed responsibility for downing two American MQ-9 Reaper drones over Sanaa airspace.
Saturday's airstrikes came just hours after the Houthis claimedresponsibility for downing two American MQ-9 Reaper drones over Sanaa airspace.
The Houthis—officially known as Ansarallah—maintain that their attacksare part of what they describe as a “solidarity campaign” with Palestiniansamid the war in Gaza. They have repeatedly stated that their operations againstIsraeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea will continue until theconflict in Gaza comes to an end.
The US has not yet commented on the latest strikes in Sanaa and Hodeidah.
Washington has designated the Houthi group as a terrorist organizationand accuses it of undermining regional stability and endangering globalmaritime commerce. The group continues to control significant portions ofnorthern and western Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, and much of thecountry’s Red Sea coastline.
The intensifying cycle of drone warfare and retaliatory airstrikes hasraised concerns among humanitarian groups and international observers, asYemen’s fragile security environment continues to deteriorate under the weightof multiple overlapping conflicts.
