US Missile Strikes Target Yemen’s Red Sea Port of Hodeidah

US and British fighter jets launched 10 airstrikes against Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Monday, the Houthis’ Al Masirah TV reported, as the US bombing campaign continues despite its failure to deter the Houthis.

US Central Command confirmed that it launched a series of strikes against Houthi-controlled Yemen on Monday but did not say if the UK was involved. Yemenis have been attributing most strikes to both the US and the UK since the British joined the Americans for the first round of bombing on January 12 and have been involved in several rounds of strikes since.

CENTOM claimed that between 1:00 pm and 7:40 pm (Sanaa time), its forces “successfully engaged and destroyed seven anti-ship missiles, three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and three weapons storage containers in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”
