On the evening of July 24, local time, the Hodeidah region of Yemen under the control of the Houthis in Yemen was attacked by air. The Saudi-led multinational coalition announced an attack on the Houthi military stronghold in Hodeidah, but did not list the port of Hodeidah as an attack target, and emphasized that all local ports are currently open to shipping. The Saudi-led multinational coalition said that the air strike was a “moderate military response” targeting local military targets in Hodeida belonging to the Houthis and directly related to the threat to commercial shipping in the Red Sea. If the Houthis continue to take “hostile” actions, the coalition forces will respond “uncompromising” and will continue to take necessary measures to protect the country's ships and the interests of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “Masirah TV”, which is affiliated with the Houthis, reports that Saudi airstrikes hit the facilities of a state-owned telecommunications company in Hodeidah. The TV station also claimed that Saudi forces attacked Kamalan Island off the west coast of Yemen.
