The Houthi-run health ministry blamed Israel Saturday for a series of strikes on a fuel depot in the rebel-held Yemeni port city of Hodeida, adding that the strikes caused casualties. "The Israeli enemy's raids on oil storage facilities in the port of Hodeida" have lead to deaths and injuries, the health ministry said in a statement carried by Huthi-run media, without specifying a toll. Israel has yet to comment on the strikes.
An AFP correspondent in Hodeida also reported hearing several loud explosions as the Huthi-run Al Masirah television reported a "series of strikes" that hit "fuel storage facilities" at the port.
The strikes came a day after a Houthi drone attack penetrated Israel's vaunted air defences and killed a civilian in a Tel Aviv apartment building, drawing Israeli threats of retaliation.
