In Yemen, the US-British coalition conducted four airstrikes on Hodeidah province yesterday, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported. The strikes hit the Red Sea coastal district of Alluhayah, northwest of the province, the TV reported without providing further information. The US-British coalition has not commented on the airstrikes yet. Citing Houthi television Xinhua news agency reported these airstrikes occurred shortly after four other strikes carried out by coalition forces targeted the Yemeni island of Kamaran in the Red Sea.

The armed Houthi group seized much of Northern Yemen forcing the internationally recognised Yemeni government out of the capital Sanaa. Since November last year, the Houthi group has been targeting ships linked to Israel with ballistic missiles and drones, to show solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In response, the US-British coalition in the area has since been targeting Houthi military sites to deter the group, which only led to an escalation of Houthi attacks.
