This came in a statement issued by the Houthi-run Ministry of Health, which stated that "one citizen was martyred and four others were injured as a result of the US-Israeli aggression targeting the port of Hodeidah on Monday."
She added, "Three citizens were killed and 35 others were injured in the aggression's raids on the Bajel Cement Factory in Al Hudaydah Governorate." The official toll from the same attacks was two dead and 42 injured.
Yemen's Houthi group announced Monday evening that 21 civilians were injured in US-Israeli airstrikes on the Bajil Cement Factory in the western province of Al Hudaydah.
This came in a statement issued by the Houthi-run Ministry of Health, which stated that "21 citizens were injured as a result of the US-Israeli aggression raids on the Bajil Cement Factory in Al Hudaydah Governorate, as a preliminary toll."
The private Israeli Channel 12 quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying, "Our air force dropped 48 missiles on Yemen, and the port of Hodeidah received a massive blow." The channel added that dozens of Israeli aircraft bombed targets in the port area and the Bajel district of the governorate.
She continued: "Israeli aircraft bombed more than 10 targets, primarily targeting Houthi concrete factories and the port of Hodeidah."
Last Monday, US airstrikes targeted a center housing illegal African migrants in Saada, killing 65 migrants and wounding 68, according to the ministry.
These developments come amid a US escalation against the Houthis since mid-March, following orders from US President Donald Trump to launch a "major attack" against the group, vowing to "completely eliminate" it.
But the group ignored Trump's threat and resumed bombing sites inside Israel and ships in the Red Sea heading toward the country, in response to Tel Aviv's resumption of its war of extermination against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since March 18.
