Saudi-led coalition launches air strikes on Yemen's main port city!

• Coalition warplanes had begun their bombardment after midnight.

A Saudi-led coalition launched heavy air strikes on Yemen's main port city of Hodeidah on Friday.

This is apparently a resumption of military operations on the Red Sea city after the Iranian-aligned Houthi movement attacked two Saudi oil tankers two days ago.

Residents said coalition warplanes had begun their bombardment after midnight.

They bombed a Houthi military police camp in the city centre, a plastics factory north of the city, and the districts of Zubaid and al-Tahita to the south.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.
