"In support of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance forces (Hamas and Hezbollah), we carried out a military operation targeting a vital target ... with a number of drones," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a televised statement.

"The operation hit the target successfully," he said in the statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.
The spokesperson vowed to launch more attacks against Israeli cities and Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea until "Israeli aggression on Gaza and southern Lebanon" stops.
Israel has not confirmed the alleged attack on its port city.
