The Saudi-led coalition early is launching airstrikes “against sources of threat in Sanaa and Hodeida” following attacks by Yemeni Huthi rebels in the kingdom, the official Saudi news agency SPA tweets.

“The military operation will continue until its objectives are achieved,” the coalition says in a statement quoted by SPA.

The strikes come a day after an attack by Yemeni rebels on an oil facility near Jeddah which set off a huge fire.
