The US military followed up its massive Thursday bombing with additional strikes on a military base near the Sanaa airport and a radar station

The director of the Al-Mayadeen office in Yemen confirmed that air strikes or missile strikes targeted the Al-Dailami base near Sanaa International Airport, north of the capital, at dawn on Saturday, 13 January.

Regarding the Saturday strike, Reuters reported that according to a statement from US Central Command, the USS Carney used Tomahawk missiles “to degrade the Houthis’ [Ansarallah] ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels.”

While many regional governments, including Turkiye and Saudi Arabia, have verbally condemned Israel’s actions, Yemen’s Ansarallah and Lebanon’s Hezbollah are the only groups or governments that have sought to intervene to stop Israel’s campaign in Gaza militarily.
