US Airstrikes Target Hodeidah Airport Amid Escalating Houthi Tensions
The US military conducts airstrikes in Yemen as Houthi forces claim increased attacks against naval forces.
On March 22, 2025, multiple airstrikes targeting Hodeidah Airport in Yemen were reported by local Houthi media.
The Yemeni group has accused U.S. naval forces of conducting these attacks.
As of now, the United States has not issued any comments regarding the airstrikes in Yemen's Hodeidah region.
According to Al-Masirah TV, further attacks were reported in the Majzar district located in Yemen's central Marib province, with five additional strikes recorded.
There has been no official information released pertaining to the casualties or material damage resulting from the U.S. operations.
Hodeidah Airport has remained closed to civilian flights since 2014, following the capture of the city by the Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis.
This closure has impacted humanitarian access in a country already facing significant challenges due to ongoing conflict.
The tensions between the Houthis and U.S. military forces have been escalating.
The latest surge in hostilities was marked by a Houthi attack on U.S. naval forces in the northern Red Sea, which was reported as the sixth such incident since March 15, 2025. The increase in confrontations coincided with the Houthi announcement to resume operations against Israeli-affiliated vessels in the Red Sea, following Israel's renewed blockade on aid into Gaza and its resumption of airstrikes in the enclave.
The announcement by the Israeli military on March 18 stated that a ceasefire deal had collapsed, thereby exacerbating regional tensions.
