SANAA, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- A U.S.-British naval coalition conducted two airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeidah province late Monday, targeting the At-Tuhayta district in the southwest of the province, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

The report did not provide further details, but residents in the district said on social media that two powerful explosions shook their homes.

The U.S. Central Command has not yet commented on the incidents but typically issues a statement later to confirm any airstrike conducted by its forces.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been regularly launching rocket and drone attacks against Israel and disrupting "Israeli-linked" shipping in the Red Sea since November 2023, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

In retaliation, the U.S.-led naval coalition in the region has been conducting regular air raids on Houthi military targets since January in an effort to deter the group. Enditem
