Hodeidah, Yemen, was hit by another U.S.-British airstrike, and the Houthis said they had hit British ships
Yemen's Houthi-controlled media reported on February 15 that the United States and Britain launched another airstrike on Yemen's Red Sea city of Hodeidah. The Houthis said on the same day that they fired missiles at a British ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden and accurately hit the target.
Masila TV, controlled by Yemen's Houthi rebels, reported on the 15th that the United States and Britain launched two airstrikes on the Jabana district in the north of Yemen's Red Sea city of Hodeidah. Some residents of Hodeidah province said they heard the sound of warplanes flying by that night, followed by explosions suspected to be caused by air strikes.
The Houthis claimed to have struck British ships
Yemen's Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarrea issued a statement on the 15th, saying that several missiles were fired at a British ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden and accurately hit the target. Sareya said the Houthis would do more to retaliate against the U.S. and British airstrikes. The Houthis will continue to impose a blockade on the navigation of Israeli vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas until a ceasefire is achieved in the Gaza Strip and the siege is lifted.
According to publicly available shipping information, the attacked vessel was a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier operated by a British company. The British Maritime Trade Operations Office said earlier on the 15th that a merchant ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden reported an explosion in the sea not far from the ship on the same day, causing no casualties and damage to the hull.
Houthi leaders say the US-British operation has failed to achieve its goals
In addition, Houthi leader Abdul Malik Houthi said on the 15th that the actions of the Houthis have effectively stopped the movement of Israeli ships, and the military operation of the United States and Britain against Yemen has failed to achieve its goals. The only solution is to cease military operations and provide food, medicine and humanitarian aid to the population of the Gaza Strip.
