More than 16 martyrs have been reported, along with countless injuries, as a result of recent American-British aggression against the coastal province of Hodeidah in Yemen. Yemeni Ministry of Health spokesperson Anis al-Subhi stated that the initial toll has reached 16 martyrs and 35 wounded, with the possibility of the death toll rising due to the severity of injuries.
Reports out of Yemen indicate that US-UK airstrikes targeted several sites in multiple provinces, including areas around the international airport in Sanaa, the al-Salif port, and the al-Hawak district south of Hodeidah city. A total of 13 airstrikes were carried out, with civilian targets like the Hodeidah Radio building also being hit.

The Yemeni Ministry of Health in the Sanaa government condemned the aggression, labeling the direct bombing of civilian targets as war crimes. The Ministry emphasized that these actions only serve to strengthen the resolve of the Yemeni people and armed forces to confront and thwart the aggression’s objectives.
This attack comes amidst ongoing war on Gaza and has sparked international outrage and calls for accountability. The Yemeni leadership, people, and army have vowed to remain resilient in the face of such aggression and to continue supporting the Palestinian people and resistance in Gaza.
