Airstrikes launched at Yemen’s Hodeidah port

There are reports of an airstrike on the the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah in Yemen. Reuters reports that fuel tanks were hit.

Hodeidah, which has been under Houthi control since 2021, is critical for delivering food and other necessities to the Yemeni population, who depend on imports. The Iran-backed Houthis have launched missiles and drones at Israel and disrupted global trade through the Red Sea in response to Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.
