Press TV \u2013 March 17, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The United States and the United Kingdom have launched a string of airstrikes against targets in Yemen’s southwestern province\u00a0of Ta’izz and the strategic western province of Hudaydah as Yemeni forces continue their maritime operations against Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yemen’s official Saba\u00a0news agency, citing a security source speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that an airstrike hit the At-Ta’iziyah district in Ta\u2019izz province early on Sunday. No further details about any casualties were immediately available.<\/p>\n

The development came hours after US and British forces conducted four strikes against the al-Durayhimi district in Yemen\u2019s coastal province of Hudaydah.<\/p>\n

Houthi: Americans will have to face severe punishment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, a top-ranking member of Yemen\u2019s Supreme Political Council has denounced continued US strikes across Yemen, emphasizing that Washington will have to face a severe punishment for the open aggression.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is completely\u00a0out of the question to welcome Americans with wreaths of flowers, as they are wreaking havoc\u00a0throughout Yemeni soil and territorial waters. Americans should rather expect harsh retaliation and punishment,\u201d Mohammad Ali al-Houthi said on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

He went on to send out a warning to US military forces, stating that the Yemeni nation\u2019s high morale will eventually prevail over them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mountains and plains of Yemen can by no means be occupied by Americans. Our heroic fighters will be the ones who safeguard our lands. You (Americans) are simply perennial losers,\u201d Houthi said.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the recently concluded \u201cPromised Day\u201d war game, Houthi noted that the combat scenarios and operations performed in the large-scale military exercise\u00a0indicated the full preparedness of various units of the Yemeni military for defense.<\/p>\n

He hailed the participating units for achieving all objectives of the drill, stating they simulated rapid response to any US-British ground invasion of Yemen.<\/p>\n

The United States\u00a0and Britain have been carrying out such strikes on Yemen\u00a0since Washington and its allies offered the Tel Aviv regime unqualified support and said Yemeni forces bear the consequences of attacks against Israeli-owned ships or merchant vessels heading to the occupied territories.<\/p>\n

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine\u2019s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory\u2019s Palestinian resistance movements carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.<\/p>\n

The Yemeni Armed Forces have said they won\u2019t stop retaliatory strikes.<\/p>\n

The maritime attacks have forced some of the world\u2019s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world\u2019s\u00a0most important maritime trade routes.<\/p>\n

Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles\u00a0to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.<\/p>\n
