On a somber Sunday in Sana’a, a poignant funeral procession unfolded, laying to rest the bodies of several martyrs who fell victim to the US-UK aggression in Yemen.
According to local media, among the honored were at least twelve people including military personnel.
The official funeral ceremony drew dignitaries such as including top Yemeni officials, social figures, colleagues, and relatives of the martyrs also joined in paying their respects.
This solemn gathering took place after prayers at the People’s Mosque in the capital secretariat. Draped in the republican flag, the martyrs were then laid to rest in their hometowns.
The ceremony aimed to commemorate those who lost their lives due to the intense airstrikes launched by the US and UK.
The attack, consisting of around 70 airstrikes, occurred on Friday, with the goal of halting the Yemen’s shipping attacks in the Red Sea.
Despite the aggression, the Houthi rebels remained undeterred, boldly asserting their commitment to targeting commercial vessels.
They issued a declaration to expand their campaign imminently, designating all US and UK interests as legitimate targets.
This development prompted strong condemnation from the Ministry of Human Rights, which decried the illegal and unjustified aggression, emphasizing its impact on civilian objects and facilities, resulting in casualties.
The Ministry viewed this aggression as a blatant violation of international laws, constituting a direct threat to global peace and security.
The statement from the Ministry pointedly underscored the historical context, linking this recent aggression to the initiation of hostilities on March 26, 2015.
This nine-year span represents an extended period of conflict against Yemen, emphasizing the cyclical nature of foreign interventions and their profound impact on the nation’s stability.
