SANAA, Jan 23 (NNN-SABA) – The U.S.-British coalition, struck Houthi camps in Yemen’s capital and other provinces at midnight, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported, today.
The strikes targeted the al-Hafa camp in eastern Sanaa and the al-Daylami air base in the north. They also hit sites in Rada, a city in the central province of al-Bayda, and Maqbanah area, in the south-western province of Taiz, the TV said without giving details.
Residents said, the explosions were powerful and their sounds could be heard across the city.
Meanwhile, U.S. media reported that, the U.S. and Britain carried out strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen late yesterday, the eighth round of attacks on the Houthis in just over 10 days.
The strikes came hours after the Houthis said they launched a missile attack at a U.S. military ship in the Gulf of Aden yesterday, and claimed a direct hit. The U.S. side did not comment on the alleged attack.
The U.S.-Britain maritime coalition in the Red Sea has carried out several airstrikes on the Houthis in various northern provinces of Yemen. The coalition said, these actions are aimed at preventing the Houthis from launching attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea shipping lane.
The Houthis vowed to continue targeting ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea, until Israel ends its war and blockade on Gaza, a Palestinian territory.
Last week, the U.S. had re-designated the Houthis as a global terrorist organisation, and said, the move would not affect food and medicine supplies to northern Yemen.– NNN-SABA
