The Yemeni capital, Sana’a, was subjected to several airstrikes this afternoon carried out by the US-British coalition, targeting residential areas and vital locations in the heart of the city.

The attack included eight airstrikes on the 22 May Sports Complex in Al-Thawra District, followed by two similar strikes on the Al-Ardi Complex in Bab al-Yemen, Al-Safiyah District. The attack also targeted the 21 September Park, raising concerns over civilian safety.

This significant escalation by the United States and Britain comes at a sensitive time and raises questions about violations of international laws that prohibit targeting civilians and critical infrastructure.

Analysts warn that these attacks could have severe repercussions on regional security, increasing the likelihood of a large-scale war and threatening to close key navigation routes in the Red Sea.

The aggression, targeting civilians in densely populated areas, represents an additional escalation that worsens the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. As calls to halt the bombardment and protect civilians intensify, it becomes imperative for the international community to take immediate measures to curb the escalation and ensure compliance with international humanitarian law.
