Yemen’s Houthi group reported a series of airstrikes hitting the coastal province of Al-Hudaydah late Wednesday, allegedly conducted by the US and Britain. Within a span of several hours, the region faced a total of seven strikes, as disclosed by the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV.
According to the channel, the initial onslaught comprised three airstrikes directed at Al-Hudaydah International Airport, followed by an additional four strikes targeting the Al-Jabana area within the province. While the precise extent of the damage caused remains unspecified, the absence of an immediate response from the US and Britain adds to the uncertainty surrounding the events.
Al-Hudaydah, renowned for its international airport and three pivotal ports, holds strategic significance within Yemen. However, amidst escalating tensions, it has become a focal point for military engagements.
The Houthi group's assertion of retaliatory strikes against American and British vessels further underscores the intensifying conflict. Stemming from their solidarity with Gaza amid Israeli hostilities, the Houthis have escalated their targeting of ships with affiliations to Israel in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The repercussions of these attacks extend beyond the immediate vicinity, raising concerns over disruptions to maritime traffic along crucial routes for oil and fuel transportation. As geopolitical tensions manifest in military actions, the region grapples with the escalating ramifications of ongoing conflicts.
