US warplanes launched a barrage of 15 airstrikes on the Raghwan and Madghal districts in Yemen’s northeastern Marib governorate. This latest aggression marks a significant uptick in hostilities as US forces also targeted Kamaran Island, located off Yemen’s western coast in the Red Sea.
Reports indicate that overnight strikes resumed with three targeted raids in the al-Jahaf and al-Qadir areas within al-Jawf Governorate. Early Tuesday, additional assaults were reported in Marib Governorate, according to our correspondent on the ground.
The weekend saw intense activity as US warplanes struck the al-Sawari ceramics factory west of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, resulting in a tragic toll of 32 casualties, comprising both fatalities and injuries, as confirmed by Yemen’s Ministry of Health.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Anis al-Asbahi, revealed alarming figures, stating that US airstrikes across Yemen have led to 338 civilian casualties since mid-March, including women and children. Strikes conducted since March 16 alone have resulted in at least 117 civilian deaths and 221 injuries.
This surge in airstrikes follows a series of operations on April 13, which targeted central and northern Yemen, including the governorates of al-Bayda and Saada. In another significant assault, three airstrikes were executed in the al-Sahleen area of the al-Salem subdistrict in Kitaf District, located near Yemen’s northern border—an area that has frequently borne the brunt of US military aggression.
