Yemen: Saudi-led coalition targets Sanaa after vessel seized

Al Jazeera  

Coalition says it destroyed workshops and warehouses for drones in response to a UAE-flagged vessel in the Red Sea being seized. The Saudi-led coalition has launched air attacks in Yemen’s capital Sanaa in response to a United Arab Emirates-flagged vessel in the Red Sea being seized and drone attacks launched by Yemeni Houthi fighters earlier this week. Saudi Arabian air defences intercepted and destroyed five drones launched by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement towards the kingdom on Monday, as the rebels based in the key Red Sea port of Hodeidah seized the UAE-flagged Rwabee ship claiming it contained military materials. On Wednesday, the Yemen Petroleum Company said the Saudi-led coalition diverted to a Saudi port a fifth fuel vessel heading for the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah. In November 2019, the Houthis seized two South Korean vessels and a Saudi-flagged tug in the Red Sea a few miles off Uqban island, north of Hodeidah.
