Saudi Arabia targets Hodeidah amidst Houthi warnings
The Saudi-led Saudi Coalition supporting the legitimacy in Yemen conducted airstrikes against military targets belonging to the Houthi group in Al Hudaydah Governorate, in response to their attempts to target commercial ships in the Red Sea. The leadership confirmed that the operation targeted legitimate military objectives without impacting Yemeni ports or international navigation routes, and that it was in response to Houthi threats and their harassment of ships. In the context of escalation, a Saudi ship was slightly injured after being targeted in the Red Sea, following previous attacks that targeted Saudi vessels. Additionally, the Houthis announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia and claimed responsibility for targeting Saudi ships. Meanwhile, clashes continue between government forces and the Houthi group in what has been an ongoing conflict for more than 12 years, with tensions rising since early July.
