The group said the attack was a barrage of missiles that got here after continued targeting of infrastructure in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and the Palestinian territories.
Yemeni officials added that their operations would proceed until the “aggression” on all fronts ends.
Experts say that any involvement within the conflict by the Houthis could cause major disruption to maritime navigation across the Arabian Peninsula.
This comes as global trade and the oil industry face uncertainty from the near-total closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
