DOHA, May 5. /TASS/. The US and Israel have carried out airstrikes on the Bajel cement plant in Yemen’s Hodeida province, Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah television reported.

The plant sits about 50 kilometers northeast of the port of Hodeida on the Red Sea coast. No casualties were reported.

On Monday night, the US and Israel carried out a series of joint strikes on the Houthi-controlled city of Hodeida. According to the Saudi-based television channel Al Hadath, the Israeli air force attacked the territory of the port of Hodeida and nearby facilities of the Houthis.
