Four strikes targeted Sanaa and seven hit Hodeidah, according to the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV network. The Hodeidah strikes hit the airport and the Katheib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base, Al Masirah said. Footage on social media showed large plumes of smoke resulting from the strikes in Hodeidah.
Since January, the US and British forces have continuously conducted airstrikes on Sanaa, Hodeidah, Taiz, and other areas controlled by the Houthis in Yemen. The airstrike targets have included Houthi missile systems, weapons storage facilities,
and ammunition depots.
