Sana'a – SABA:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the U.S.-British aggression launched today against civilian sites in the capital, Sana’a, and Sa’ada province, particularly targeting residential neighborhoods, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of several civilians.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered this aggression a blatant violation of Yemen’s sovereignty, stability, territorial integrity, the UN Charter, and international law.
The ministry asserted that the U.S.-British aggression aims is to deter Yemen from its stance in support of the Palestinian people and to protect the Zionist occupying entity, allowing it to continue its genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people for over 15 months with American backing.
The statement pointed out that this aggression comes at a time when calm has returned to the Red Sea and maritime restrictions have been limited solely to Zionist ships. It emphasized that Yemen will defend itself with all available means.
The ministry reaffirmed that the U.S.-British aggression will only strengthen Yemen’s resolve and determination to continue supporting and standing by the Palestinian people until the aggression and blockade on Gaza come to an end.
It further explained that this aggression is an extension of the ongoing war against Yemen since March 26, 2015, which was announced from Washington and has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council and freedom-loving people worldwide, to condemn the blatant U.S.-British aggression against Yemen, which threatens security and stability in the region and the world.
