The attack comes a day after a Houthi drone attack that killed one person in Tel Aviv.
Several air strikes have hit Yemen’s coastal city of Hodeidah, the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV has reported, attributing the attack to Israel.
The air strikes on Saturday come a day after Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for a drone attack that killed one person in Tel Aviv.
Al-Masirah TV said the attack targeted oil storage facilities and a power plant in Hodeidah, igniting a fire in the area. The news outleted cited the health officials as saying that the air raids resulted in casualties, including fatalities, without specifying a number.
The Iran-allied Houthis, who present themselves as the country’s official armed forces, have been targeting shipping lanes in the Red Sea in a campaign that they say aims to pressure Israel to end its war on Gaza.
The group has also launched ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, most of which have been intercepted.
