The US-backed Saudi-led coalition on Tuesday launched an airstrike and Katyusha rockets on several residential areas in Yemen’s Hodeida province, a security official told Yemen Press Agency.
The airstrike was launched at the northern part of Sha’ab City.
Meanwhile, militants loyal to the coalition launched Katyusha rockets on Mhal Alsheikh village in 16 district, causing damages to farms.
Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the deadly military aggression against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the country's former Riyadh-allied regime and crush the Houthis, who have been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government.
The war is estimated to have left 56,000 Yemenis dead.
Back in June, the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive on the port city of Hodeida despite international warnings that it would compound the war-torn nation’s humanitarian crisis.
The Saudi-led offensive, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed Yemen's infrastructure and led to famine in the import-dependent state.
About 8.4 million Yemenis are now facing starvation. The number is likely to increase to 14 million.
