Israeli airstrikes on Yemen killed nine people early today, said Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthi movement controlling much of the country.

Seven were killed in a strike on the port of Salif and the rest in two strikes on the Ras Issa oil facility, says Al Masirah, both located in the western province of Hodeidah.

The strikes also targeted two central power stations south and north of the capital, Sanaa, it adds.

In a statement, Israel’s military says it “conducted precise strikes on Houthi military targets in Yemen, including ports and energy infrastructure in Sanaa.”
