SANAA/TEHRAN/GAZA - US and British warplanes launched a new wave of airstrikes against Houthi camps in northern Yemen late Sunday, reported the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

The strikes hit targets in Saada province, a Houthi stronghold, and Hodeidah, a strategic Red Sea port city.

In Saada, the strikes hit the eastern part of the provincial capital, also called Saada, and the northern district of Bakim.

In Hodeidah, the strikes targeted camps in Ras Issa, a northwestern coastal district, and the neighboring district of Az-Zaydiyah. Other strikes hit the southern part of the city, which has been the main portal for imported commodities in Houthi-controlled areas.

The US side has not commented on the new airstrikes, which came less than 24 hours after another round of US-British attacks on Houthi camps in areas under their control.

The US Defense Department said in a statement that the previous airstrikes on Saturday night were meant to "further disrupt and degrade the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia to conduct their reckless and destabilizing attacks against US and international vessels lawfully transiting the Red Sea".

Houthi chief negotiator Mohammed Abdulsalam said on al-Masirah TV that the US airstrikes would not destroy his group's weapons or limit its military operations and capabilities.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea vowed that his group would launch retaliatory attacks against the US Navy after the US airstrikes hit the group's camps in six northern provinces, including the capital Sanaa.

Kanaani said the attacks violated Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as international law, and represented "flagrant adventurism and a worrying threat to international peace and security".

He said the military attacks of the United States and Britain on regional countries were a continuation of their "wrong approach of resorting to militarism to achieve their illegitimate objectives in the region".

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Sunday also condemned Saturday's US-British airstrikes on Yemen, considering it "an escalation that will drag the region into more turmoil".

"We strongly condemn the US-British airstrikes of the Republic of Yemen and consider it a blatant attack on the sovereignty of an Arab country," the movement said in a press statement.

Hamas said the airstrikes represented "an escalation that will drag the region into more turmoil and instability, for the repercussions of which Washington and Israel bear full responsibility".

Since last month, the United States and Britain have launched several rounds of strikes on the Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the group's attacks on ships with links to Israel in the Red Sea.

The Houthis said their attacks were aimed at stopping the ongoing Israeli strikes against the Gaza Strip and showing solidarity with Palestinians.
