A series of strikes have been launched against oil refineries in the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeidah in Yemen, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The attack resulted in fatalities in the western coastal city, according to the Houthis’ own TV station Al Masirah.<\/p>\n

The strikes come a day after the Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for a drone strike near the US embassy in central Tel Aviv, which left one person dead and at least four injured.<\/p>\n

Israeli military have declined to comment.<\/p>\n

It also comes amid a series of attacks launched by Houthis against Western shipping using the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Saturday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it had received reports of two attacks on a vessel 64 nautical miles (118.5 km) northwest of Yemen’s Mokha, causing slight damage.<\/p>\n

The captain of the vessel reported attacks by an aerial drone, which exploded close to the vessel and by a seaborne drone, which also exploded nearby.<\/p>\n

A maritime security source told Reuters that the ship, which has been identified as a Liberia-flagged container ship, was attacked by a skiff (small rowing boat) and drones.<\/p>\n

Another attack occurred 83 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni city of Aden late on Friday, when a Singapore-flagged vessel was damaged by a Houthi strike.<\/p>\n

The UKMTO said that incident was still under investigation.<\/p>\n
