U.S.-British coalition launches 3 airstrikes on Yemen's Red Sea port city

Sanaa [Yemen], June 13: Warplanes of the United States and British naval coalition launched three airstrikes on Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Wednesday, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.
The first strike targeted the area of al-Jabbanah in the western part of the city, while the other two targeted sites in the southern district of At Tuhayta, said the television without elaborating further.
Residents said they heard the sound of jets and then explosions in those targeted Houthi-held areas.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition on the fresh strikes.
The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, including Hodeidah, began in November last year to launch anti-ship ballistic missiles and drones targeting "Israeli-linked" ships transiting the Red Sea to show solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In response, the U.S.-British naval coalition stationed in the waters has since January conducted air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group, but this only led to an expansion of Houthi attacks to include U.S. and British commercial vessels and naval ships.
