Yemen says 31 people have been killed and 101 others injured in U.S.-British airstrikes across the country.

Tehran, IRNA – The Yemeni government says 31 people have been killed in the latest airstrikes carried out by the United States and Britain in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and elsewhere in the Arab nation.

In a statement early on Sunday, Yemen’s Health Ministry said that the death toll had risen to 31, including women and children.

According to Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesperson for the ministry, another 101 people were also wounded in the airstrikes.

The airstrikes were conducted on Saturday night. Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV channel said that the raids hit a residential neighborhood in the north of Sana’a.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the strikes, which he described as “decisive and powerful military action” against Yemen, threatening Yemen with “lethal force” if it attacked ships in the high seas.

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement said earlier this week that it would launch attacks against any Israeli-linked ships in international waters unless the regime lifts its siege of Gaza.

Nearly two months after the Gaza war broke out, Yemen launched attacks on Israeli-linked vessels and later conducted missile and drone strikes on positions inside Israel in an effort to pressure the regime to end its conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Those Yemeni operations continued until a ceasefire came into force in Gaza on January 19 this year. Yemen has now pledged to renew its pro-Palestine operations at any cost.
