A new strike hit the Yemeni Red Sea port city of Hodeida on Saturday following rocket fire by Iran-backed Houthis, security sources said.

A military source allied with the militants told AFP “the site from which a Houthi rocket was launched on the outskirts of Hodeida was hit,” adding that it was not clear whether the strike came from the sea or the air. A police source confirmed the new strike.

Following the reported strikes in Yemen, a US defense official told Al Arabiya English, “This was not a US military strike.”
