US and UK launch 2 airstrikes in western Yemen

The Houthi group said on Friday that the US and UK carried out two airstrikes on Hodeidah city in western Yemen.

“US-UK aggression targets Al-Jabana area in Hodeidah city with two airstrikes,” the Houthi-run Al-Masirah channel said in a brief statement.

Earlier on Thursday, the group said it had struck a US vessel in the Gulf of Aden. The group confirmed it was in response to US and British “aggression” against Yemen, as well as to help the Palestinian people.

The US and UK have been striking Houthi since 11 January in response to Houthi attacks to protect the safety of the red sea, prompting fresh fears of an inflationary attack and disruption to the supply chain.
