Houthis report five killed in strikes west of Hodeidah

The Houthi-run Al Masirah channel said a Saudi airstrike on a house in Hodeidah killed five members of one family on Saturday, a toll no other source read had confirmed.

Why it matters: Hodeidah is Yemen's main Red Sea port province, and a reported family death toll there adds to a day of reciprocal strikes, after Saudi strikes on Sanaa in the morning and Houthi missile claims against Saudi airports and oil sites in the afternoon.

The Houthi-run Al Masirah channel said a Saudi airstrike on a house in Hodeidah, in western Yemen, killed five members of the same family on Saturday, naming a father, two of his children and his two wives, ERT News reported, carrying Reuters, AFP and the Athens News Agency. ERT reported no confirmation from the Saudi authorities.

The reported toll follows Saudi strikes on the Houthi-held capital Sanaa on Saturday morning, where the Houthis reported four killed, and an afternoon Houthi claim of missile strikes on Saudi airports and oil installations, which the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted. Neither side’s casualty or damage figures for Saturday have been independently verified in the sources read.
