US-UK coalition strikes targets in Yemen, Houthis say
Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah and other western coastal areas have been hit by at least 17 airstrikes attributed to a US-British coalition defending ships in the Red Sea, according to Al Masirah, the main Houthi-run television news outlet.
Al Masirah does not specify which targets, if any, are hit, but says four of the strikes had been on the port of Ras Issa.
Despite reprisals from the US-British coalition and other navies, the Houthis have escalated their campaign of attacks on commercial vessels in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, which they say is in solidarity with the Palestinians under attack in Gaza in Israel’s war with Hamas.
