US, UK renew strikes in Yemen

Red Sea tensions flare up as Israeli forces encircle city in south Gaza Strip

SANAA/GAZA－The US-British coalition struck Houthi camps in Yemen's capital and other provinces at midnight on Tuesday in the latest flare-up in the Red Sea tensions.

The development came as the Israeli army suffered what it said was its worst loss in the Gaza conflict. However, the Israeli forces claimed to have encircled Khan Younis, the second-largest city in the southern part of the enclave.

The latest strikes by the coalition targeted the al-Hafa camp in eastern Sanaa and the al-Daylami air base in the north. They also hit sites in Rada, a city in the central province of al-Bayda, and the Maqbanah area in the southwestern province of Taiz, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV said without giving details.
