Saudi-led coalition strikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah fishing port kill 26

(UTV|COLOMBO) Twenty-six people were killed and 35 others were wounded in Saudi-led coalition air strikes on the fishing port and fish market in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, Yemeni medical sources told on Thursday.

Saudi Arabia and Sunni Muslim allies have been fighting in Yemen for three years against the Iran-aligned Houthis, who control much of north Yemen including the capital Sanaa and drove a Saudi-backed government into exile in 2014. There was no immediate comment from the Saudi-led coalition.
