On the evening of July 24 local time, Hodeidah in Houthi-controlled Yemen was
hit by air strikes, the Saudi-led coalition said. The coalition said it struck
Houthi military sites in Hodeidah directly linked to threats against Red Sea
commercial shipping, called the operation a 'moderate military response', and
said Hodeidah port was not a target and all local ports remain open to shipping.
The coalition warned it would 'respond without compromise' to further Houthi
hostile actions and would take necessary measures to protect its vessels and
Saudi interests. Houthi-affiliated Masirah TV reported strikes hit a state
telecom facility in Hodeidah city and that Kamaran Island off Yemen’s west coast
was also attacked.
