Death toll from US-British aggression on Hodeida rises to 16
HOEDIDA, May 31 (YPA) – The death toll from the American-British aggression on Hodeida governorate has risen to 16 martyrs and 35 wounded.
The Health Bureau in Hodeida governorate stated, in a statement, obtained by Saba News Agency that “16 civilians were killed and 35 others were injured as a result of the American-British raids on the Hodeida Radio building and the Salif port on Thursday evening.”
On Thursday night, The United States and the United Kingdom launched a series of airstrikes on Thursday on the capital Sana’a and the provinces of Hodeida and Taiz.
In the same context, Yemen’s Armed Forces Spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Sarie, revealed in a military statement on Friday afternoon that the American aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” was struck in the Red Sea in response to the American-British aggression and raids on Yemen, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of 58 citizens.
Brigadier General Sarie indicated that the US-British aircraft conducted four raids on the capital Sana’a, resulting in one injury. Two raids on Sanaa governorate and one raid on the Haifan district in Taiz governorate.
He confirmed that the aggression targeted Hodeida governorate with six raids.
“One airstrike on the port of Salif, another airstrike on the radio building, two airstrikes on Ghalifa camp and two others airstrikes on the homes of Ali Mohsen and Ali Abdullah Saleh,” Sarie explained.
He added, ” The airstrikes on Hodeida have left 16 martyrs and 41 injuries, including martyrs and injured civilians in the airstrikes that targeted civilian sites such as the Hodeida Radio building close to Al-Thawra Hospital and the Coast Guard facility in Al-Salif Port, and the total number of martyrs and injuries, both civilians and military personnel reached 58 martyrs and injuries.”
The airstrikes have caused damage to the Hodeida Radio building, as well as the Coast Guard building in the port of Saleef, in addition to a number of commercial ships in the port. This represents a clear targeting of civilian objects, a blatant violation of all international laws, and a full-fledged war crime.
