US and British warplanes have bombed Yemen’s capital city of Sana’a and several other areas, amid the country’s solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and the Lebanese nation in the face of Israel’s brutal aggression.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television network said the US-British aggression targeted the al-Hafa and Jirban areas in the north and south of the capital with six airstrikes on Thursday morning.

The US military has used "B-2 stealth bombers for the 1st time in airstrikes on Yemen,” the television network said.

A US defense official confirmed that the strikes were conducted using the B-2 bomber, which is usually deployed to strike areas heavily defended by air defense systems.

    • I really want to stress part of this. The US and UK are bombing Yemen for upholding international law.

      There are only 3 countries on earth that are actually in accordance with international law right now, and those countries are Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. Those are the only 3 countries fulfilling the Responsibility to Protect. Every other country on this planet (I’m glaring at China while I say this) is failing that responsibility, and then a select few are dropping bombs to prevent those 3 from fulfilling that responsibility.

      Every country selling a single cent of goods to Israel is violating this principle. There is a legal and moral responsibility to be dropping bombs on Tel Aviv, and not doing so is both a moral and legal failure. Xi, I’m sorry man, where the fuck are you?

      • From what I understand PRC adopted a general nonintervention, neutral stance after being a little wild at the beginning.

        But this is a major failure of responsibility and should be a reason to revisit that stance, at least in extreme circumstances. Who knows what they might be doing in the background that we don’t know about though.

    Russia the Yemeni people yearn for freedom and mutual trade and cooperation, please send s-400 anti-air defense systems. After all if the west can man air defense systems like patriots in Ukraine without being in a war with Russia then surely Russian crews can shoot down American planes in another country without being at war with the US. Right?

    Hey Yemenis who take pride in taking hits for helping the oppressed in Palestine. You know how cool and expensive the murder toy we used on you this time is? Oh you aren’t impressed and will continue to support Palestine. Damn.
