Al Hudaydah, Yemen - September 29, 2024

Storyline:
Local residents in Hodeidah, Yemen, witnessed intense bombings on Sunday and captured footage of the horrific moments on their mobile phones, showing red flames and thick clouds of smoke rising into the skyline.

According to Yemeni authorities, Israel launched a series of air strikes on Hodeidah Port and Ras Isa Port in Hodeidah province and two power stations on Sunday evening. The attacks resulted in at least five deaths and 57 injuries, the health authorities said.

The Yemeni government on Monday condemned Israeli strikes on the Houthi-controlled Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.

In a statement released by the state-run Saba news agency, the government also issued a stern warning to both Israel and Iran, urging them "to refrain from using Yemeni territory as a proxy battleground."

The statement denounced Israel's Sunday airstrikes against Hodeidah as "a violation of Yemen's sovereignty and a contravention of international laws and conventions."

In the statement, the Yemeni government expressed deep concern over the potential escalation of the already dire humanitarian crisis gripping the war-torn nation.
