<p>The 141st Infantry Brigade of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted the
"Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad" exercises in the sixth military
district of Yemen, including the northern provinces of Saada, Amran, and
al-Jawf earlier on Saturday</p>
<p>The drills are considered a <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/regional-conflict-already-begun-following-us-uk-strikes-on-y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strategically significant exercise</a>
and have highlighted a coordinated effort that involved the unmanned
Air Force, anti-tank units, snipers, engineering teams, artillery
divisions, armored forces, infantry units, military communications, and
the Specific Tasks Unit.</p>
<p>The maneuver took place hours after <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>'s
correspondent in Yemen, on Saturday morning, confirmed that the Sanaa
Airport vicinity was targeted by shelling and either air raids or
missile strikes targeting al-Dailami base near the airport, north of the
capital.</p>
<p>All participating units successfully carried out their assigned tasks
within the framework of the supported operations skillfully and with
utmost competence. This reflected the level of planning, coordination,
and integration between the units, allowing them to take control of a
virtual Zionist enemy settlement and capture remaining enemy soldiers
before detonating the settlement, according to statements by their
Military Media unit.</p>
<p>The military drill also showcased aspects of the participating units'
skills and capabilities acquired from field experiences and specialized
military courses.</p>
<p>A statement from al-Baqaa Axis forces emphasized their "full
commitment, religiously, ethically, and humanely, to stand alongside the
Palestinian resistance and the axis of resistance and jihad in the holy
battle to liberate all of Palestine from Zionist occupation."</p>
<p>It also underscored their "preparedness" to confront "the American and Zionist enemy" using "appropriate equipment and gear."</p>
<p>It is worth noting that earlier, on Friday, the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-renews-aggression-on-yemen--targets-airbase-north-of-sana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US and UK targeted Yemen</a> for the first time, striking the capital, Sanaa, as well as the governorates of Hodeidah, Saada, Dhamar, Taiz, and Hajjah.</p>
<p>The second day, the US <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-renews-aggression-on-yemen--targets-airbase-north-of-sana">renewed its aggression on Yemen</a> targeting an airbase north of Sanaa.</p>
<p>The US Central Command (Centcom) confirmed on Saturday that US forces
carried out a strike that targeted an alleged radar site used by the
Ansar Allah movement in Yemen.</p>
<p>"This strike was conducted by the USS Carney (DDG 64) using Tomahawk
Land Attack Missiles and was a follow-on action on a specific military
target associated with strikes taken on Jan. 12 designed to degrade the
Houthi’s ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial
vessels," Centcom said in a statement on X.</p>
<p><strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>'s correspondent in Yemen confirmed early
Saturday that airstrikes targeted the vicinity of Sanaa airport and its
vicinity north of the Yemeni capital.</p>
<h2>There will be painful responses to aggression on Yemen: Al-Bukhaiti</h2>
<p><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/there-will-be-painful-responses-to-aggression-on-yemen--al-b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad al-Bukhaiti</a>,
a member of the political bureau of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement,
affirmed that the battle in Yemen is not against the American or British
people but against the Zionist ruling gang in Washington and London,
adding that the US-UK decision is not in favor of either country.</p>
<p>Speaking to <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>, al-Bukhaiti addressed both
the American and British sides, saying, "You need to reconsider your
calculations and learn from past experiences," emphasizing that the
United States and Britain "made a mistake in waging war on Yemen."</p>
<p>He also underlined that Yemen has set targets that depend on the US
escalation and international stances and that there will be painful
responses. Al-Bukhaiti noted that the Yemeni Armed Forces previously
only targeted maritime navigation associated with the Zionist entity.</p>
<p>The Yemeni official mentioned that American and British ships no
longer dare to cross the Red Sea, threatening retaliation for the
actions of the two countries. Al-Bukhaiti further highlighted that the
military operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces against
targets in "Israel" and the Red Sea inflicted significant losses for
both the American and Israeli sides.</p>
<p>He also announced that the United States and Britain are now directly
involved in the aggression, emphasizing that this was a moment Yemen
had been patiently awaiting. Additionally, al-Bukhaiti pointed out that
it would have been better for the United States and Britain to pressure
the Israeli occupation entity to stop its crimes instead of expanding
the scope of the conflict.</p>
<p>The member of the Ansar Allah political bureau indicated that Yemen
has managed to establish new rules of engagement in the Red Sea, which
will be firm and permanent, stressing that no one will be able to
overturn them.</p>
<p>In the same context, al-Bukhaiti expressed gratitude to the
Palestinian people who united the Yemeni people and the nation and
refuted all false accusations against Yemen.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, al-Bukhaiti concluded by stating that the situation is now
clear in the world, with Yemen seeking to stop the genocide while the
US and Britain protecting its perpetrators.</p>
