The Houthi militia in Yemen announced on Saturday that US airstrikes on the northern provinces of Omran and Saada have resulted in the "complete destruction" of communication stations.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Houthi Rebels, which is not internationally recognized, said that the US airstrikes "targeted communication networks in the Black Mountain area in Omran Governorate with five airstrikes, and also targeted the communication network in the al-Lubda area in Saada Governorate with several airstrikes.”

The attacks resulted in the "total destruction" of broadcasting stations, communication towers, and messaging networks in these areas, it added.

On March 15, US President Donald Trump said that he had ordered a “major offensive” against the Houthis and later threatened to “whip them out completely.”

The Houthi Militia has been attacking Israeli-linked ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones since late 2023, disrupting global trade for what it said is a show of solidarity with the Gaza Strip.

Houthis halted its attacks when a ceasefire was declared in January between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, but it threatened to resume the attacks when Israel blocked all humanitarian aid into Gaza on March 2.
