Arab forces seize entrance to airport in Yemen's main port city

Forces from an alliance of Arab states seized the entrance to the airport in Yemen’s main port city on Friday. 

The move was an offensive against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement that the United Nations fears could trigger a famine imperiling millions of lives.

The advance was an early success for the Saudi- and United Arab Emirates-led alliance, which launched the operation in Hodeidah three days ago.

Coalition forces said they can seize the city quickly enough to avoid interrupting aid to the millions facing starvation.

Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi called on his followers late Thursday to head to the frontlines to fight the “instruments of the United States and Israel.” (Reuters)
