The death toll from the US aggression on the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and other Yemeni provinces has risen to 53 martyrs, the Health Ministry in Sana’a said.

The number of injured has risen to 98, including nine children and nine women, the ministry said.

The Ministry reiterated its condemnation of the American aggression and its targeting of civilian sites in the capital, Sana’a, and several provinces.

It described the American enemy’s airstrikes on civilians and civilian sites as full-fledged war crimes, adding to the criminal record of the United States.

Earlier on Saturday, Trump had announced on X that he had ordered the United States military to launch “decisive and powerful military action” against, what he described as, Yemen’s Ansarullah, although the Saturday American attacks just targeted Yemeni civilians.

“We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective,” he had added.

The American enemy launched an aggression with nearly 30 airstrikes on the capital, Sana’a, Saada, Dhamar, Hajjah, and Al-Bayda.

The aggression came a few days after the Yemeni Armed Forces resumed their maritime operation against Israeli-linked ships in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea over the Tel Aviv regime’s blockade on Gaza.
