Sanaa: The US military launched fresh airstrikes on Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Hodeidah and the northern Saada province, both of which are strongholds of the Houthis, on Thursday evening.
It was reported that four US airstrikes targeted the Alkateeb coastal area on the northwestern outskirts of Hodeidah, where several military complexes are located.
Meanwhile, the US military struck the al-Asayed area in Saada for the second time since early morning, Xinhua news agency reported.
The airstrikes coincided with the Israeli military’s interception of a missile from Yemen, which triggered air raid sirens in Jerusalem and part of the occupied West Bank.
Earlier in the day, Houthis claimed that they attacked Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv with a long-range ballistic missile in the morning, saying it aimed to force Israel to stop its war on Gaza, reopen border crossings, and allow humanitarian aid into the enclave.
The Houthi group also launched strikes against the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea early Thursday, marking the fifth such strike since Saturday. (IANS)
