The Houthis-run Al-Masirah television station reported early Saturday morning that at least one target had been hit in the capital Sanaa.

US news channel CNN and the New York Times, citing US government representatives, reported that the US military had attacked a radar system used by the militia.

Washington and London bombed militia positions in Yemen on Friday evening in response to weeks of attacks by Houthi rebels on merchant ships in the Red Sea. They focused on almost thirty targets.

Biden issued another warning

US President Joe Biden spoke of “successful” air strikes – while threatening further attacks if the militia did not stop its attacks on ships: “I will not hesitate to order further measures if necessary to protect our people and the free flow to protect international to protect trade.”

The Houthi rebels threatened retaliation in response to the attacks. According to US information, they later fired an anti-ship missile: “We know they fired at least one missile in retaliation,” US Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims said in Washington on Friday. But the missile did not hit any ships.

Axis of resistance

The Iran-backed Houthis launched their series of rocket and drone attacks in the Red Sea after the start of the war between Israel and the radical Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas on October 7. The Shia rebels see themselves as part of the self-proclaimed ‘Axis of Resistance’, aimed against Israel, which also includes Hamas. According to their own statements, the Houthis are targeting ships linked to Israel in their attacks.

The Red Sea is an important international trade route. It connects the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal and forms a central trade route through which up to twelve percent of world trade is carried. Due to the Houthi attacks, many shipping companies have halted or restricted traffic through the Red Sea and diverted ships. (AFP)
