Pretty grim day in Sanaa, Yemen, huh? Just on April 17, 2025, a somber event unfolded – a funeral ceremony for the victims of a brutal US airstrike. (Photo: Xinhua)
The scene was heart-wrenching, as folks gathered to pay their respects, their faces etched with grief. This funeral ceremony was a response to the intense airstrikes that decimated parts of Sanaa, claiming at least 80 lives and injuring over 150 more. (Photo: Xinhua)
The airstrikes weren't confined to Sanaa. They struck key Houthi targets, including underground facilities in Mount Nuqum, other areas in Sanaa, and even Hudaydah Governorate. Among the devastation, one event stood out – the attack on the Ras Isa fuel port, a significant Houthi fuel source, which saw oil tanker fires erupt. (Photo: Xinhua)
Now, while the specifics of the Sanaa funeral haven't been fully detailed, it's safe to assume that such a staggering loss of life wouldn't go unnoticed. Funeral processions and mourning ceremonies could have sprung up in Sanaa and other affected areas following the conflict.
This whole situation is part of a broader military campaign by the US against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The goal is to deter Houthi attacks on shipping and other regional targets, such as Israel. The conflict's roots run deep, linked to geopolitical tensions with Iran, a key supporter of the Houthi group. (Photo: Xinhua)
