SANAA, Jan 13, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - US and British forces have launched fresh
raids on Yemen's capital, Huthi rebel forces said on Saturday, a day after
the allies carried out dozens of strikes on the country.

The latest raids targeted Al-Dailami airbase in Sanaa, which has been under
Huthi control since 2014, the Iran-backed rebels said on their official
media.

"The American-British enemy is targeting the capital, Sanaa, with a number of
raids," Al-Masirah TV posted on X, formerly Twitter, citing its correspondent
in Sanaa.

"The American-British aggression targeted the Al-Dailami base in the capital,
Sanaa," it added.

There was no immediate comment from the United States or Britain.

The raids on Yemen follow weeks of Huthi attacks on Israeli-linked shipping
in the commercially sensitive Red Sea in protest against the Israel-Hamas
war.

The Huthis are part of the "axis of resistance" to Israel encompassing
Iranian allies and proxies across the region.
