US and British forces carried out six airstrikes on targets in Yemen on Friday, a Houthi-run television station said.
Four attacks were made on the airport of Hodeidah - a main port city on the Red Sea - and the seaport of Salif to the north, Al-Masirah TV said. Two strikes also hit the Al-Thawra region north of the Yemeni capital Sanaa, it said.
