Saudi Strikes Houthi Sites in Yemen After Red Sea Attacks
Saudi Arabia and its allies attacked areas in Yemen controlled by the Houthi group.
The Houthis had earlier said they would block Saudi ships in the Red Sea.
The Saudi-led coalition said they hit military sites used to threaten ships.
The Houthis said the strikes hit other places too, like telecommunications buildings and an island.
The main port in Hodeidah is still open.
This all happened because of tensions in the region, including Iran blocking another important shipping route.
Saudi-led coalition struck Houthi military sites in Hodeidah Province, Yemen, in response to Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
The Houthi movement imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, escalating regional tensions.
Houthi-affiliated media reported that Saudi strikes hit areas in the rebel-held province, including telecommunications facilities and Kamaran Island.
The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the military action had ended and that Hodeidah port remains open to shipping.
A Saudi-owned vessel, NCC MASA, was attacked in the Red Sea, causing minor damage to its hull.
