US-British air strikes were launched at several parts of Yemen, including its capital, Sana’a, and Hudaydah Airport, Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthi movement controlling much of Yemen, and residents said on Friday, Reuters reports.

Strikes also targeted the south of Dhamar city, Al Masirah TV added.

Houthi fighters 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 US and British retaliatory strikes and disrupted global trade as ship owners re-route vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal to sail the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
