The United States and the UK carried out air and sea strikes targeting the Houthi group in Yemen on January 12, 2024. In response, thousands of Yemenis took to the streets across the country to protest these military actions.
One of the major demonstrations took place at Sabeen Square in Sanaa, the capital, where CGTN stringer Yousef Mawry reported a large-scale protest. The gathering included thousands of residents voicing their opposition to the ongoing conflict.
Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for Yemen's Houthi group, stated that the recent air strikes will not impede Yemen's military operations in the Red Sea. He added, \"Yemen will fight back with drones and missiles,\" indicating a continued resistance.
