</li></div></ul>
<p>A US official told <em>CNN</em> 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."</p>
<p>The Yemeni <em>SABA</em> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Al Mayadeen</strong> 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.</p>
<p>Our correspondent added that the raids targeted Kahlan camp, east of the city of Saada, in northern Yemen.</p>
<p>The Pentagon has announced that the US aggression has targeted 12
sites in Yemen and was conducted by warplanes, cruise missiles, and
submarines.</p>
<p><em>Politico</em> 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.</p>
<p>The <em>New York Times</em> on the other hand reported that the
Netherlands, Australia, Canada, and Bahrain provided logistical,
intelligence, and other forms of support to the aggression.</p>
<h2>Earlier reports regarding imminent strikes</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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, <em>The Financial Times</em> reported, citing informed sources.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>Ben Amer revealed that US reconnaissance aircraft are flying at the moment south of the Red Sea.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p></div></div></div>
