ALBAWABA - Three airstrikes were launched targeting the Hodeidah airport in Yemen, local Houthi media reported on Saturday night. Yemeni group accused the U.S. naval forces of carrying out the attacks.
On the other hand, the United States has not made any comment regarding the attack on the Yemeni airport, AFP reported.
Al-Masirah TV further confirmed that five other attacks occurred in the Majzar district in Yemen's central province of Marib.
No official statement was made regarding the casualties or damage caused by the U.S. attacks, and there has been no comment from the U.S. side yet.
However, it is worth noting that the Hodeidah airport has been closed to civilian trips since 2014 when the Ansarallah group seized control over several northern cities, including the strategic city of Hodeidah.
Earlier yesterday, the Yemeni group confirmed they attacked the U.S. naval forces in the northern Red Sea for the 6th time since March 15.
Tensions escalated between Yemen’s Houthis and the U.S. military after the U.S. Naval forces attacked Yemen on March 15, following the group's announcement to resume attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red Sea.
Houthi group announced resuming attacks on the ships in the Red Sea following Israel's blockade on aid into Gaza and the resumption of airstrikes on the enclave as the Israeli army announced the collapse of the ceasefire deal on March 18.
