The US Central Command said in a statement that US and British forces had hit 13 targets in Yemen.
British and US forces have struck Houthi targets in Yemen in the fifth combined operation since January. The Ministry of Defence confirmed the strikes took place on Thursday as part of a response to Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The MoD said intelligence confirmed two locations near Hudaydah were involved in the anti-shipping attacks, with buildings identified as housing drone ground control facilities and storage for long range drones.
The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported at least two deaths and 10 injuries from strikes against a radio building in Hodeidah's Al-Hawk district. 'As ever, the utmost care was taken in planning the strikes to minimise any risk to civilians or non-military infrastructure,' the MoD said in a statement. 'Conducting the strikes in the hours of darkness should also have mitigated yet further any such risks.
