STORY:

At least four people were killed and 49 others wounded on Sunday in Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported, citing health sources.

The al-Masirah TV described the attacks as "Israeli aggression," detailing that the port in the Ras Issa area and power stations in the districts of Al-Hali and Al-Katheeb were attacked.

"Four people were killed, including a port worker and three engineers at Al-Hali electricity power station," the television said, adding that 49 others were injured and rescue operations are still ongoing.

Earlier in the day, Israel's military said it had conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in Hodeidah, striking power plants and a seaport which it alleged the Houthis used for transferring weapons, military supplies, and oil.

The air raid involved dozens of aircraft, including fighter jets, mid-air refueling planes, and intelligence aircraft, with the targets located approximately 1,800 km from Israel.

A pro-government Yemeni official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Xinhua that more than ten airstrikes targeted key infrastructure, including oil tanks, airport, and other port facilities along the Red Sea coast.

Meanwhile, residents said they heard jets roaring overhead, and ambulances were seen rushing through the streets. They added that Houthi fighters have cordoned off the targeted areas.

Meanwhile, the Houthi group issued a statement, informing residents in areas under its control that "it has already taken the necessary measures for any emergency and that the fuel supply is stable."
