SANAA – The US-British naval coalition launched three air strikes on Houthi-held Yemeni airport in the port city of Hodeidah and four air strikes on the Yemeni island of Kamaran in the Red Sea on Friday, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

The television did not provide further details.

Local residents said on social media that the strikes hit Houthi targets.

The airstrikes at the airport occurred shortly after four other strikes carried out by coalition forces targeted Kamaran island, as reported by the Houthi television.

There was no immediate comment from the coalition.

The US Central Command reported Thursday on social media platform X that its forces in the Red Sea "destroyed a drone launcher in the Houthi-held area”.

The armed Houthi group seized much of northern Yemen in late 2014, forcing the internationally recognized 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.
