Havana, March 23 (RHC)-- U.S. forces launched three airstrikes this Saturday against Hodeidah International Airport in Yemen, according to Al Masirah.  Other Arab media outlets report that the attacks targeted arsenals and missile and drone platforms belonging to the Houthis.

As a result of the offensive, the Houthi commander of the Naval and Coastal Defense Forces, Mansour Al-Saadi, and seven other members of the movement were wounded.

On Wednesday, the U.S. carried out attacks against several Yemeni cities, including Sana'a, Sa'ada, and As Sawadiyah.  This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at the Houthis, promising that they will be "completely annihilated."

The Yemeni movement, for its part, has intensified its attacks against U.S. targets, including several warships in the USS Harry Truman carrier battle group.

Furthermore, in recent days, they have launched several offensives against Ben Gurion International Airport, Israel's main airport, warning that it has become unsafe for air traffic and "will remain so until the aggression against Gaza ceases."
