’s northeastern Ma’rib governorate. This latest aggression marks a significant uptick in hostilities as US forces also targeted Kamaran Island, located off Yemen’s western coast in the Red Sea.
Reports indicate that overnight strikes resumed with three targeted raids in the al-Jahaf and al-Qadir areas within al-Jawf Governorate. Early Tuesday, additional assaults were reported in Ma’rib Governorate, according to our correspondent on the ground.
The weekend saw intense activity as US warplanes struck the al-Sawari ceramics factory west of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, resulting in a tragic toll of 32 casualties, comprising both fatalities and injuries, as confirmed by Yemen’s Ministry of Health.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Anis al-Asbahi, revealed alarming figures, stating that US airstrikes across Yemen have led to 338 civilian casualties since mid-March, including women and kiddies. Strikes conducted since March 16 alone have resulted in at least 117 civilian deaths and 221 injuries.
This surge in airstrikes follows a series of operations on April 13, which targeted central and northern Yemen, including the governorates of al-Bayda and Saada. In another significant assault, three airstrikes were executed in the al-Sahleen area of the al-Salem subdistrict in Kitaf District, located near Yemen’s northern border—an area that has frequently borne the brunt of US military aggression.
Unclaimed drone strike hits two vehicles in Hadhramaut
[HodhodYemenNews] An unidentified drone, believed to be American, carried out a double strike on two vehicles in Hadhramaut province, which is under the Saudi-led coalition’s control in eastern Yemen.
Media sources reported that the attack occurred Sunday afternoon on the Al-Abr road. Two missiles directly hit the first vehicle, killing a person inside and completely charring his body. The person’s identity has not yet been determined.
The sources explained that the second car, which was carrying three people, managed to flee towards the Al-Abr-Shabwa Junction, and they were likely to belong to Al-Qaeda.
Another airstrike targeted a person who was walking on foot near one of the hangars in the Al-Amiriyah area after Al-Abr Market towards Old Al-Abr, which led to his immediate death without his identity being identified, according to the sources.
The sources indicated that the area extending from across Shabwah to Bin Aifan Junction has witnessed intense activity of unidentified drones during the past days, which reinforces doubts about the possibility of the United States’ involvement in these operations.
This attack follows a similar attack on Saturday that targeted a car in Ataq, the capital of Shabwah province. The attack resulted in the burning and destruction of the vehicle and the charring of the body of an unidentified person, amidst a continued secrecy surrounding the parties carrying out the raids in these areas.
