Airstrikes were launched on Friday at several parts of Yemen including its capital Sanaa and Hodeida airport, according to Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthi movement controlling much of Yemen, and residents.
Strikes also targeted the south of Dhamar city, the channel added.
Al Masirah TV reported that the strikes had been carried out by U.S. and British forces, but a British government source said Britain was not involved.
Iran-aligned Houthi militants have launched attacks on international shipping near Yemen since last November in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s war with Hamas.
The Houthi attacks have drawn U.S. and British retaliatory strikes and disrupted global trade as ship owners reroute vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal to sail the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
