The health department with Huti control said that the US Army has again started air strikes in Yemen since mid -March. So far 123 common people have died and 247 people have been injured in these attacks. The injured include most women and children. The statement was released late on Sunday night when a ceramic factory in the western area of Sana, the capital of Yemen, took place. 7 people died and 29 people were injured in this attack. On April 9, health officials reported that 107 people were killed and 223 people were injured in the latest US air strikes.
The Huti Group usually does not inform the death of its fighters. Although the US Army says that many Huti leaders have been killed in these attacks, but the Huti group has denied the claim. This information has been given by the Xinhua News Agency. On Sunday, the Huti Group said they have killed another American MQ-9 drone. It is the 19th drone since November 2023, which they have dropped. Huti military spokesperson Yahya Saiya said on Al-Masira TV in Huti that a MQ-9 drone of the US was shot dead while taking action against the enemy in the northwestern part of Yemen.
Saraiya reported that the drone was dropped from a local surface -to -air missile. He also said that the “frequent attacks of America” had not affected the military strength of the Huti group. The statement said that the Huti group supports the Palestinian people and its activities will continue until the Israeli attack on Gaza ends and the siege is removed.
On March 15, the US started airstrikes against Huki fighters. The US says the purpose of these attacks is to prevent the Huti Group from attacking Israeli and American ships in the Red Sea. Huti has been attacking the Israeli targets since November 2023 to show solidarity with Palestinians under Israeli bombing in the Huti Gaza Strip, which controls the vast areas of Northern Yemen.
