U.S. and British forces launched six airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah International Airport and four on Kamaran Island near the port of Salif, according to Al-Masirah TV, run by Yemen's Houthi movement. This marks the first attack on Kamaran Island since coalition strikes on Houthi targets began in February. Yemen's internationally recognized government claims the Houthis use these sites for Red Sea attacks and to store weapons. The Houthis have escalated attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza, despite ongoing reprisals by the coalition.
