Aden, Yemen, Apr 5 (Prensa Latina) Abdul Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement in Yemen, denounced the United States and its allies for conducting 424 airstrikes on rebel targets. Al-Houthi stated that those attacks have already killed 37 people and wounded 30.

The rebel chief added that Washington’s operations against them were a failure that could not prevent the Houthis’ actions against ships with any connection with Israel amid the Zionist offensive in the Gaza Strip.

He explained that the Houthis’ actions have affected 90 ships in the Red Sea, and drone attacks have increased and spread to other regions.

Since November 19, 2023, the Houthi rebels, grouped in the Ansar Allah movement, announced their decision to attack Israel-linked ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in response to Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

The Houthis took over northern Yemen, including the capital, after taking up arms against the government in 2014, an event that sparked a civil war that currently continues.
