Saudi Arabia strikes the port city of Hodeida in Yemen, coalition saysIRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Saudi Arabia struck the port city of Hodeida in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said in a statement early Saturday in response to Iranian-backed Houthi rebel attacks on Saudi shipping. The Houthis said the group would escalate after tensions have been brewing for weeks, breaking a years-long calm. The Saudi strikes Saturday were in retaliation for Houthi attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea on Thursday. Houthi-run Al Masirah television said Saudi strikes hit facilities belonging to the state telecommunications corporation and also targeted Kamaran island, off Yemen’s western coast. The broadcaster said one employee was injured and a woman was also wounded in Kamaran Island.Trump says
