SANAA – Yemen’s Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdulsalam said that the country would continue to defend itself after several U.S. strikes targeted facilities in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday.
“The American aggression is a blatant violation and an outright support for Israel [and its] genocidal crimes in Gaza,” the spokesperson said on X.
“Yemen, with its great sacrifices, continues to defend itself against any aggression and remains steadfast in its support for Gaza.”
The U.S. military confirmed that it carried out strikes against Houthi targets in Sanaa and coastal locations in Yemen on Monday and Tuesday.
Houthi-affiliated media also reported that at least 12 strikes targeted military compounds belonging to the group in Sanaa and other locations.
Houthis have repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards the Zionist entity in what they describe as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
