ADEN, Yemen, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Houthi military authorities said on Sunday that the U.S. and British aircraft have conducted "a new aggression" against targets in Hodeida, a strategic province in western Yemen along the Red Sea coast.
According to the report, the allied forces targeted the At-Tuhayta district in the southern part of Hodeidah, though specific details about the aerial bombardment were not immediately disclosed.
Meanwhile, local figures close to the Houthi group said that "an airstrike targeted a key military site of the Houthis in Hodeidah."
Since November 2023, the Houthi group has been conducting missile and drone attacks on what it said were "Israeli-linked" ships in regional waters and beyond, as well as targets in Israel, to show solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amid their conflict with Israelis.
In response, the U.S.-British naval coalition stationed in the region has since January conducted air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group. ■
