ALBAWABA- US and UK warplanes launched airstrikes on Hodeidah International Airport in western Yemen, targeting the facility with two raids.
This action follows closely after the Houthis struck the US vessel, True Confidence, in the Red Sea, resulting in damage to the ship and fatalities among its crew.
The White House released a statement reaffirming the United States' commitment to taking necessary measures against the Houthis.
They emphasized that these attacks pose not only a threat to the US but also constitute an international problem requiring concerted action.
Houthi forces attacked a vessel on Wednesday in the Gulf of Aden resulting in the death of three people. A ballistic missile targeted the vessel True Confidence, which was flying the Barbados flag.
"With great sadness," the Department of Migrant Workers confirmed the death of "two Filipino seafarers in the most recent attack by Houthi rebels on ships plying the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden."
"We are also informed that two other Filipino crewmen were severely injured in the attack on their ship," the agency further said.
Meanwhile, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the vessel reported "three fatalities, at least four injuries, of which three are in critical condition, and significant damage to the ship."
