Saudi Arabia conducted strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah governorate, targeting the port and telecommunications facilities, according to Houthi-run Al Masirah TV.

Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes on the Yemeni governorate of Hodeidah, targeting the port and telecommunications facilities, according to the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV.

Amidst heightened tensions, the Iran-aligned Houthi movement announced plans to impose a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea, posing potential challenges to the United States in its conflict with Iran.

The Saudi-led coalition warned of a firm response to these developments. Despite a 2022 truce intended to prevent further warfare, this conflict risks reigniting, reminding the world of a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives through violence, famine, and disease.
