Saudi Arabia announced strikes on Houthi targets after an attack on a vessel in the Red Sea

Saudi Arabia struck Houthi targets in the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah after an attack on a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea. CNN reports this, citing a statement from the command of the Saudi-led coalition joint forces, writes UNN.

Details

The coalition described the strikes as a "proportional military response" to the attack.

If the Houthi militia continues its hostile actions, they will face a response without leniency

– the coalition statement reads.

Coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Maliki called the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea a "cowardly and reckless act." According to him, the port in Hodeidah was not a target of the strikes.

Houthis report a casualty

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV channel earlier reported that a worker at a telecommunications building in Hodeidah was injured as a result of the Saudi strike.

There is no independent confirmation of this information at this time.
