The Saudi-led coalition struck targets in the Houthi-held Yemeni port of Hodeidah on Saturday following attacks on Saudi ships in the Red Sea.
The Houthis, an Iranian-backed Shiite group that controls large parts of civil war-torn Yemen, announced a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia last week in response to what it called an unjust “siege” of the country.
The coalition said in a brief statement that it had targeted military sites “linked to threats against commercial shipping.”
According to the Houthi-aligned Al Masirah TV, telecommunications facilities were hit. The broadcaster added that a woman was injured in a strike on Kamaran Island off Yemen’s Red Sea coast.
The group’s political wing condemned the attacks and vowed to meet “escalation with escalation,” according to Anadolu.
The Saudi Defense Ministry says its forces targeted Houthi military sites in Hodeidah Governorate, including sites linked to attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea. The port of Hodeidah was not targeted, the Saudi MoD said. https://t.co/CaxWZU4byWpic.twitter.com/TTAIOTyHHi
