Saudi Arabia carried out strikes against what it said were Huthi targets in Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah after a Saudi vessel was attacked in the Red Sea on Friday.
In a statement, Saudi Arabia’s Coalition Joint Forces Command described the strikes as a “proportionate military response.”
The coalition spokesperson, Staff Major General Turki al-Malki, called the Huthi attacks in the Red Sea a “cowardly and reckless act.”
Al-Malki said that the port at Hodeidah was not targeted in the strikes.
Earlier, the Houthi-affiliated al-Masirah television reported that a worker at a telecommunications building in Hodeidah was injured in the Saudi strike.
