Military base near Yemen’s Hudaydah airport attacked: Report

The source was cited as saying that two explosions hit the Al-Jabnah barracks near the airport but did not specify the cause of the incident.   

Yemeni officials have yet released a report on this.

But US Central Command, CENTCOM, claimed on Saturday that as part of its efforts to protect shipping and prevent attacks on maritime vessels in the Red Sea, an airstrike was carried out against an anti-ship missile belonging to Yemen, off the Gulf of Aden.

Last month, the US president vowed to continue attacks on the Yemeni army and its allied Ansarullah Movement but admitted that the US and UK have so far failed to stop attacks on Israeli-bound ships in Red Sea despite attacks inside Yemen.

"When we say, will they stop the Houthis, the answer is no, and if we ask will they continue, the answer is yes" Joe Biden stated earlier this week.

The US and the UK have attacked Yemen multiple times recently after a UN security council resolution on the Red Sea but in violation of international laws in order to protect Israeli interest.

The US has also put Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement back on its so-called “terrorism list”, sparking condemnations over Washington’s unilateral move in the region and beyond.
