Saudi-Led Coalition Seizes Entrance To Yemen's Houthi-Held Hodeidah Airport

The main port city of Hodeidah is now under control of Saudi-led coalition forces.

Forces from an alliance of Arab states wrested control of the entrance to the airport in Yemen's Houthi-held main port city of Hodeidah on Friday, three sources told Reuters.

"We saw the resistance forces in the square at the northwestern entrance to the airport," said a Hodeidah resident, referring to Yemeni allies of the Saudi-led Arab alliance. Two local anti-Houthi Yemeni military officials confirmed the seizure.
