Aden (Al-Ittihad)
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said yesterday that Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea were preventing food and medicine from reaching “vulnerable populations”. Blinken added yesterday in a message on his official account on the “X” platform: “I and my G7 counterparts have confirmed our commitment to defending freedom of navigation. » Since November, the Houthi group has launched attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones. In response to these attacks, since the beginning of this year, Washington and London have begun launching airstrikes and missile attacks on Houthi sites in Yemen.
In another context, the Yemeni army foiled an infiltration attempt by the Houthis towards the “Asifra” front, north of the city of Taiz, while a number of members of the “group” were killed on the “Maqbanah” front.
A Yemeni military source reported that Houthi elements attempted to infiltrate army positions on the Asifra front, and that these elements were confronted and forced to retreat.
In this context, several members of the Houthi group were killed and others injured yesterday on the “Maqbanah” front, west of the city of Taiz.
A military source explained that the Houthis targeted the village of “Al-Barqa” in the “Maqbanah” district with mortar shells, stressing that the army’s artillery responded to the sources of fire in “Tabbat Al-Hanash” in the same district, which led to the death and injury of Houthi members.
In another context, 3 children of a family were injured in the explosion of a Houthi projectile in one of the areas of Al-Dhalea governorate. Local and human rights sources reported that 3 children were injured in various ways following the explosion of a projectile from the Houthi war in the “Zubairiyat” area of “Qataba” district “.
