US Launches Airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah & Amran: Civilian Casualties Reported
Since mid-March, under the order of former President Donald Trump, the US military aggression in Yemen has resulted in devastating consequences. According to reports from Yemen’s Health Ministry, at least 107 civilians have been killed and 223 others injured, with the majority of victims being women and children.
Recently, eastern Sana’a became the epicenter of new US airstrikes. Four bombings struck the Rijam area in Bani Hushayh district, east of the capital, while additional attacks were reported in Al-Nahdain, south of Sana’a. These incidents have worsened Yemen’s already dire humanitarian crisis.
The Health Ministry also reported rising casualties in the western province of Hodeidah, where 12 fatalities and 15 injuries were recorded, including women and children. Debris removal efforts continue, underscoring the scale of destruction caused by the strikes.
Yemeni authorities have condemned these attacks as a “blatant violation of the UN Charter,” which prohibits the use of force against a state’s territorial integrity and political independence. A statement from Yemen’s Foreign Ministry strongly denounced US actions, emphasizing their disproportionate impact on civilians.
This situation, already marked by years of conflict and humanitarian collapse, deteriorates with each airstrike, leaving vulnerable populations exposed to even greater suffering.
