Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV reported on Thursday that Saudi warplanes carried out a fresh round of airstrikes on areas of Yemen held by the Houthi movement, according to 东方财富.
The broadcaster said the targets included Hodeidah International Airport, located on the Red Sea coast, and a communications network facility situated west of the capital, Sanaa. No further details on casualties or damage were given in the reporting cited by 东方财富.
The report is the latest in a series of accounts from both sides of the conflict. 东方财富's summary of related coverage notes that the Houthis have claimed Saudi-led strikes across Yemen, including an assertion of 156 attacks within a 24-hour period, reported by Xinhua, and a separate claim of 1,460 strikes over the course of a month, reported by ThePaper.cn. In that same claim, the Houthis said they had retaliated against two Saudi oil facilities.
On the other side, a Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed a ballistic missile launch platform in Sanaa, according to Sina Finance. Other coverage referenced in the summary describes fighting involving Yemeni government forces and the Houthis near the country's third-largest city.
The accounts come from parties to the conflict and cannot be independently verified from the material available.
What to watch next: whether the Saudi-led coalition confirms the Hodeidah and Sanaa strikes, and whether the reported targeting of Red Sea port infrastructure affects aid and shipping through Hodeidah.
