US-British navy coalition launches airstrike on Houthi site in Yemen
SANAA - The US-British navy coalition launched a new airstrike on a Houthi site in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Sunday before dawn, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.
The strike targeted the site in Hodeidah's Al-Luhayyah area, according to al-Masirah, which did not provide further details or report any casualties.
The coalition has not commented on the alleged strike yet.
The US Central Command said in a statement on X that its forces on Saturday night conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by Houthis in the capital Sanaa.
Command forces also shot down multiple Houthi one-way attack drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea, said the statement.
The airstrikes came hours after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack on central Israel, which injured at least 20 Israelis in Tel Aviv.
Since November 2023, the Houthis have been carrying out rocket and drone attacks on Israeli cities and disrupted "Israeli-linked" shipping in the Red Sea.
In response, the US-led navy coalition stationed in the area has been conducting regular air raids on Houthi targets since January in a bid to deter the armed group.
