Yemen’s Houthis report 2 US-British airstrikes on Hudaydah

Houthi-run media say attacks targeted Bajil district in Al Hudaydah

By Mohammed Sameai

SANAA, Yemen (AA) - US and British warplanes launched two airstrikes on Yemen’s coastal province of Al Hudaydah on Thursday, the Houthi group said.

The Houthi-run Al-Masirah television said the attacks targeted Bajil district in the province, without providing any further details.

There was also no comment from the US or UK on the report.

Since the beginning of 2024, a coalition led by the US has been conducting airstrikes that it said are targeting Houthi locations in parts of Yemen in response to attacks by the group on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The counterattacks have been occasionally met with retaliation from the group.

In solidarity with Gaza, which has been facing a genocidal war by Israel since Oct. 7 last year, the Houthis have targeted Israeli cargo ships or those associated with Tel Aviv with missiles and drones, expressing their determination to continue operations until the end of the onslaught on the enclave.

With the intervention of Washington and London and an escalation of tensions, the Houthis announced that they consider all American and British ships military targets.
