The US military followed up its massive Thursday bombing with additional strikes on a military base near the Sanaa airport and a radar station

The director of the Al-Mayadeen office in Yemen confirmed that air strikes or missile strikes targeted the Al-Dailami base near Sanaa International Airport, north of the capital, at dawn on Saturday, 13 January.

Regarding the Saturday strike, Reuters reported that according to a statement from US Central Command, the USS Carney used Tomahawk missiles "to degrade the Houthis' [Ansarallah] ability to attack maritime vessels, including commercial vessels."

While many regional governments, including Turkiye and Saudi Arabia, have verbally condemned Israel's actions, Yemen's Ansarallah and Lebanon's Hezbollah are the only groups or governments that have sought to intervene to stop Israel's campaign in Gaza militarily.

Notice how the media reports no death tolls for these strikes at all. It’s better if you don’t think of these targets as “people.”

Weird what happens when you attack merchant ships

We get closer to WW3 each day

Please explain the chain of events and military alliances that you see leading to WW3 from events in the ME.

War is bad, regional conflict is worse, but neither are WW3.

Just keep working, consuming pointless products and entertainment, and making families as if things are okay.

Yes, because Ansarallah is obviously launching missiles and boats from the international civilian airport.

It's right there in the summary that they hit a military base and radar installation near the airport. Shit headline but you don't even have to click the link to get that.
