US warplanes conducted at least 17 airstrikes on the Tahrir and Qiyada
districts of the Yemeni capital late on 27 March, targeting residential
neighborhoods and Sanaa International Airport for the second night in a row.

Airstrikes were also reported in Al-Luhayyah District in Hodeidah
governorate and Al-Jawf Governorate.

According to local reports, the US-led attacks left several Yemenis wounded
and caused material damage to homes and shops in Sanaa and other cities.

Last week, the US and UK reignited an illegal war against the Arab world's
poorest nation after the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced the
reimposition of a ban on Israeli ships transiting the Red Sea, demanding an
end to the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Western warplanes have hit Yemen with nonstop airstrikes in nightly raids
that have killed dozens of people, including many women and children.

In response to the US-led aggression, Sanaa has launched cruise missiles
and drones at the western warships and fired

several ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv.

“The missile force targeted Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa (Tel
Aviv) area with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile and a military target south of
occupied Jaffa with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. The
operation successfully achieved its goal,” the YAF announced earlier on
Thursday.

US President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that Washington’s attacks
have been “very successful beyond our wildest expectations,” adding, “We’re
going to do it for a long time. We can keep it going for a long time.”

Washington's renewed aggression on Yemen comes as the Arab country
commemorates the 10th anniversary of the start of a bloody war launched by
Saudi Arabia and supported by the UAE and NATO.

The war began when Saudi Arabia mobilized to dislodge the Ansarallah
resistance movement from power after the ousting of former president
Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi during the 21 September Revolution.
