The United States and the United Kingdom-led coalition launched another aggression on the coastal province of Hodeidah in Yemen, launching several strikes at western Yemen on Wednesday.
Warplanes targeted the Hodeidah International Airport with four airstrikes, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
On Monday, our correspondent reported that the US-British aggression aircraft launched 18 airstrikes on the provinces of Hodeidah and Saada, west and north of Yemen.
The American and British aircraft hit the coastal province of Hodeidah on the Red Sea with 13 airstrikes. Among the airstrikes, eight targeted the al-Irj area in the Bajil District and the Ras Issa area in al-Salif District, northwest of Hodeidah.
In addition, three airstrikes hit the al-Jabbana area northwest of the city, and two airstrikes targeted the al-Taif area in the al-Durayhami District south of the coastal province on the Red Sea west of Yemen.
The US-British aggression aircraft also launched five airstrikes that hit the Takhya area in the Majz District in the Saada Province, north of the country.
In a related context, earlier today, the British maritime security company, Ambrey, received information about an incident involving missile launches toward the Gulf of Aden and urged ships near the Yemeni island of Socotra to "reduce the number of bridge personnel and halt all crew movements."

This comes as the Yemeni Armed Forces persist with their operations in the Red and Arabian seas against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships until the cessation of the aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, as well as against American and British ships in response to the two countries' aggression on Yemen.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) targeted the American-owned ship "Pinocchio" in the Red Sea with several anti-ship missiles, the spokesperson for the YAF, Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced in a statement.
Brigadier General Saree confirmed that the strike was accurate, vowing that the military operations of the YAF would escalate during the holy month of Ramadan in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and Resistance fighters in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Sanaa mentioned that the minarets of mosques in the Yemeni capital echoed the statement of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
