US airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah province hit a water management building and killed at least three people, the Yemeni Health Ministry said on Tuesday.
“The American attack, which targeted the water management building in the district of al-Mansouriyah in the governorate of Hodeida with several strikes on Tuesday resulted in three deaths and two injuries, mostly employees,” said Health Ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi, according to AFP.
Local Yemeni media reported earlier that the US targeted multiple areas in Houthi-controlled Yemen, where 80% of Yemenis live, and hit water infrastructure in Hodeidah, which is located on the Red Sea. Yemen’s SABA news agency also reported US airstrikes on the northern provinces of Saada and Hajjah.
Water infrastructure was a major target of the US-backed Saudi-UAE coalition’s bombs when it waged war against the Houthis in Yemen from 2015 to 2022, causing the largest cholera outbreak in recent history. In 2018, the US-backed coalition bombed a cholera treatment facility run by Doctors Without Borders.
The US’s current bombing campaign has also taken a heavy toll on civilians, with at least 25 being killed in just the first week of US airstrikes from March 15 to March 21, according to the Yemen Data Project. Since March 15, the US has bombed Yemen every day.
President Trump is signaling that the US airstrikes on Yemen could intensify, and the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, are not backing down and continue to launch attacks on US warships and fire missiles at Israel. The Houthis have made clear that the only way they will stop attacks is if there is a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli blockade on aid entering the Palestinian territory.
War on civilians and civilian incrastructure has become the new normal. Back to barbarism. Yemen is not complicated, There are steep mountains rising from the Red Sea. The rest — various levels of plateaus, different sltitudes and climates. Valleys and mountainside agriculture kept this ancient culture there for thousands of years. Many buidingd are thousands of years old. In old city of Sana’a mist streets were not designed for car traffic.
All military is in those mountains rising from tve sea. Those cannot be easily found. Instead, civilian infrastructure in the cities,like the lort city of Hodedah – where no port facilities operated since Yemen-Saudi wars.
There is no feasible way for Iran to supply Yemen. Not unless Saudi Arabia is participsting. Or their opponents, Southern Secessionists are participating. Or UAE? Take your pick of potential conspirators. Because Gemen bas no functioning airport or port to handle military translort.
Is all if this really about Israel? Or about the control of Bab Al-Mandeb? With the control of these straits -/ it will not matter who controls Suez canal. Iran is a north-south corridor for the whole of Eurasia, talking all transit to Indian Ocean ports, outside Straits of Hormuz. Russia-China-india all have stakes in it.
Once upon a time UK led an agressive policy if controlling sea traffic — as a manufacturing powerhouse it was agressively exporting. That was merchantilism. It will be interesting to see how this new US version of mercantilism works. Merchantilism without merchandise.
"War on civilians and civilian infrastructure has become the new normal." LOL. No. I'm not laughing about that. I am laughing about the Romans called their enemies "Barbarian."
FLASHBACK:
Trump vetoed every bill passed by Congress to disengage US forces from the Saudi war in Yemen and to halt the sales of US-made warplanes and bombs, which the Saudis used to systematically kill Yemeni civilians.
After ten years of war, Yemen remains one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. An estimated 4.5 million people—14 percent of the population—are currently displaced, most of whom have been displaced multiple times over a number of years. More than 18.2 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance and protection services. The risk of a large-scale famine in the country has never been more acute. Tens of thousands are already living in famine-like conditions and a staggering five million more are acutely food insecure. https://www.unrefugees.org/news/yemen-crisis-explained/
Exceptional.
The water wars???…..;-}
Buyskasha!!!
So now Trump is not only doing his Biden imitation by bombing the Houthis, but he's also doing his Bush imitation by bombing water infrastructure. MAGA, am I right cultists?
MIRH

Trump lost my support the second he kissed Nutty Yahoo's ass. No REAL human being could allow the butchery in Gaza.

Most Americans and western Europeans are sick in the head or brainwashed to passive insanity.
