US-British Warplanes Launch Heavy Retaliatory Attacks On Yemen
BY TYLER DURDEN
US and UK warplanes launched several airstrikes on Hodeidah International Airport in western Yemen in the overnight and early Friday hours. “US–British aircraft targeted Hodeidah International Airport with three raids,” a security source told Yemen’s SABA news agency.
The renewed attacks came after several prior US–UK attacks on Yemen Thursday. “American and British fighter jets launched five raids on various Ansarallah sites in the Ras Issa area, which includes an oil berth affiliated with the port of Al-Salif, north of Hodeidah,” a local source in the western Hodeidah province told Sputnik Thursday.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said shortly after midnight on Thursday that it destroyed five uncrewed vessels and three drones belonging to the Houthis in the Red Sea and in “a Houthi controlled area of Yemen.”
Yemen has imposed a naval blockade on all ships delivering goods to Israeli ports in the Red Sea, Arab Sea, Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean – in support of Palestinians in Gaza. It also recently expanded its campaign to include joint operations with the Iraqi resistance.

The Yemeni army has vowed not to stop its operations until the war in Gaza comes to an end.
The article touts nearly 600 airstrikes carried out by US and UK aircraft since the start of hostilities but no mention of an end game halting Yemen’s Red Sea blockade. That requires a strategy beyond knee-jerk reactions killing drones. Thanks to Mick for the head’s up.

Remind me again when the great democracies of the US and UK voted to go to war with Yemen?
And just yesterday the president was saying that violence is never the answer.
Maybe they should start by taking out the Iranian frigates in the Red Sea so Yemen can’t target these ships… HOLY CRAP SO EASY A CAVE MAN COULD DO IT
Until you chop off the head of the snake, the snake can still bite you.
The way Reagan did it worked
True. But the media had every nation terrified of Regan because they painted him as an out of control cowboy bent on launching nuclear bombs. Hell, the Russians almost attacked as preemptively in 1983 because of it.
Trump being casually called a fascist and Hitler should work in his favor as well
I remember 1983
I was a little shit Lmao…
In northern Japan
They shot down KAL and in short order we were sent to California me my sister brother and mom
There is a ton of stupid going on right now
Like give the Ukraine weapons but tell them they can’t use them
Sputnik?
That is so 50’s.
If/when we get serious about stopping these ragheads, I vote to make the rubble bounce, then get out and leave the survivors on their own. No US aid except to Israel.
Give them a lil Mustard to go with the canned sunshine
Mustard…..in gaseous form?
(helps it to spread easier)
Excusez-moi..
Did someone call for “canned sunshine”? Here ya go…
Keep bouncing the rubble till its so fine, it can be sifted.
A whole 5 unscrewed vessels and 3 drones are the results of an air strike? Targeteers need to provide a longer list of targets because this borders on wasting jet fuel.
Ask me about the cost-benefit analysis of million dollar missiles shooting donated drones.
Then ask how Iran can afford to donate the drones in the first place.
Just noticed
“Unscrewed” vessels?
Jet skis?
