SANAA, Yemen (AA) – Yemen’s Houthi group said Thursday that US and British warplanes targeted the capital Sanaa with six airstrikes.
Several sites in the city were struck, Houthi-run Al-Masirah television reported.
No reports were available on casualties or damage.
There was no comments from the US or the UK.
Earlier in the day, the group’s leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech that his forces targeted 10 ships last week linked with the US, UK and Israel in the Red, Arabian and Mediterranean seas and Indian Ocean.
He added that 129 ships had been targeted since the beginning of support operations for Gaza in November.
The Houthis have been targeting ships that are Israeli-owned, flagged, operated or heading to Israeli ports in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with missiles and drones in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been under a devastating Israeli offensive since Oct. 7 last year.
With the US and UK launching retaliatory airstrikes against Houthi sites inside Yemen, the Houthis declared that they consider all American and British ships military targets.
