Yemen Vows ‘Strong Response’ to U.S. Aggression
WASHINGTON/ADEN(1)
(Dispatches) – Yemen’s armed forces threatened a “strong and effective response” Sunday after the United States carried out another strike in Yemen overnight, further ratcheting up tensions.
The strikes have added to concerns about the escalation of a conflict that has spread through West Asia since the occupying regime of Israel launched a war on Gaza, with resistance groups also entering the fray from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.
The latest strike, which the U.S. said hit a radar site, came a day after dozens of American and British strikes in Yemen.
“This new strike will have a firm, strong and effective response,” Ansarullah spokesperson Nasruldeen Amer told Al Jazeera, adding there had been no injuries nor “material damages.”
Muhammad Abdulsalam, another Ansarullah spokesperson, told Reuters the strikes, including the one overnight that hit a military base in Sanaa, had no significant impact on Yemen’s ability to prevent Israel-affiliated vessels from passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.
Hans Grundberg, UN special envoy for Yemen, called on Saturday for maximum restraint by “all involved” and warned of an increasingly precarious situation in the region.
The Yemenis say their maritime campaign aims to support Palestinians under Israeli siege and attack in Gaza. Yemen’s armed forces have fired drones and missiles up the Red Sea at Israel itself.
In Sanaa, government employee Muhammad Samei said the U.S. attacks were an act of “brutal aggression” and marked a new stage of a war Yemen has endured for 10 years.
Hussein Kabsi, a retired government employee, said supporting the Palestinians was a “religious and moral duty.”
