A US official told *CNN* on Friday that the US military has launched
strikes against multiple targets in Yemen, adding that "the strikes were
from fighter jets and Tomahawk missiles."

The Yemeni *SABA* news agency in Sanaa also reported that the
American-Israeli-British aggression launched multiple airstrikes on the
capital Sanaa and the provinces of Hodeidah, Saada, and Dhamar.

*Al Mayadeen* Correspondent reported that The US-British aggression
targeted the vicinity of Al-Hudaydah Airport and areas in Zabid District in
the same coastal governorate on the Red Sea in Western Yemen.

Our correspondent added that the raids targeted Kahlan camp, east of the
city of Saada, in northern Yemen.

The Pentagon has announced that the US aggression has targeted 12 sites in
Yemen and was conducted by warplanes, cruise missiles, and submarines.

*Politico* cited an official from the US Department of Defense as saying
that the US and the UK, with support from Australia, the Netherlands,
Bahrain, and Canada, carried out strikes against targets in Yemen.

The *New York Times* on the other hand reported that the Netherlands,
Australia, Canada, and Bahrain provided logistical, intelligence, and other
forms of support to the aggression.
Earlier reports regarding imminent strikes

Earlier, Deputy Head of the Moral Guidance Department in the Yemeni
Ministry of Defense in the Sanaa government, Brigadier Abdullah ben Amer,
affirmed that there are significant preparations to confront the
anticipated US-British aggression on Yemen.

This comes amid media reports that the US and the UK are mulling possible
strikes against the Yemeni forces in an attempt to curb their operations in
the Red and the Arabian seas against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships, *The
Financial Times* reported, citing informed sources.

The report mentioned that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was expected
to authorize strikes on Thursday as part of a US-led coalition and even
convened an urgent call of his cabinet at 7:45 p.m. GMT following a meeting
of the National Security Council.

On X, Ben Amer stressed that "readiness has been underway for several days"
in Sanaa, pointing out that opening the airspace to US and British
warplanes for attacking Yemen is "clear participation in the assault and
direct involvement in the aggression."

He also urged Yemenis to take part in protests on Friday and pay no
attention to what some hostile sides have started to spread, such as talk
of collapses, confusion, and "other foolish and naive lies."

Ben Amer revealed that US reconnaissance aircraft are flying at the moment
south of the Red Sea.

On his part, Fadel Abu Taleb, a member of the Political Bureau of the
Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, underlined that the Yemeni people are fully
prepared and completely ready to engage in any battle or confrontation with
the enemies, no matter its intensity, until achieving victory for both the
Palestinian and Yemeni peoples.

Abu Taleb said that the United States and the US claim that targeting the
Yemeni people is part of supporting the Zionist entity, while the Yemeni
people assert that their military operations at sea are in the context of
supporting the Palestinian people and backing the Resistance.

According to Israeli media reports, in the United States, the Pentagon held
urgent security consultations, highlighting that expanding the
confrontation in the Middle East into a comprehensive one is one of the
important topics being discussed.

Israeli media mentioned that weapon and missile storage facilities and
drones will be attacked as part of the planned attack from Washington and
London against Sanaa. Western sources were cited as saying that the
selected targets would be limited in order to avoid expanding the scope of
the confrontation.
