Iran press/Middle East: According to Yemen News Agency (SABA), the attacks on Friday have been carried out with United States support.
The warplanes of US-backed Saudi-led aggression coalition on Friday launched three airstrikes on Hudaydah province, a security official said.
More than 70 percent of Yemen’s imports used to pass through the docks of Hudaydah.

The artillery and rocketry forces of the mercenaries of Saudi-led coalition on Friday shelled several border districts in Saada province, the official said.
The shelling targeted citizens’ farms in Ghaferah area of Dhaher district and caused damage among citizens’ properties, he said.
Also a military official told Saba, the artillery force of mercenaries of the Saudi-led aggression coalition on Friday shelled areas in the western coast.
On December 13, 2018, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement and the country’s former Saudi-backed government have reached an agreement on a ceasefire in the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah.
The UN chief made the announcement shortly after the delegations of Yemeni warring parties agreed that the world body play a “leading role” at the vital port, which is currently controlled by the Houthis.
The new round of peace talks aimed at ending nearly four years of a brutal Saudi-led war on its southern neighbor came to a close in Sweden.
Despite nearly four years of military aggression, and the use of advanced American weaponry, and full military and logistic support from Washington, Saudi Arabia and its allies have not been successful militarily. The Saudi-UAE coalition has been unable to conquer the key port city of Hudaydah, despite a green light from the Americans, and despite the use of considerable military power at its disposal. In the end, the Saudis were forced to sit round the negotiating table.
Following the peace negotiations in Sweden, and an agreed halt to all military operations in Hudaydah, ships carrying humanitarian goods are now able to dock in Hudaydah port, delivering much-needed food, medicines, and other essential items. This represents a huge victory for the Houthi-Ansarullah movement of Yemen, and a resounding humiliating defeat for the Saudi-UAE coalition.
It is worth noting that the Ansarullah movement has now been recognized by both the United Nations, and the former government of fugitive president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. This confirms the legitimacy of the Ansarullah movement, and the popular forces of Yemen. This is something that Saudi Arabia and its allies were not prepared to recognize just a few months ago.
San'a airport is still under the control of the legitimate government of Yemen, the Ansarullah movement and the popular forces. This counts as another embarrassing defeat for the Saudis, and their backers.
Extensive war crimes committed by Saudi Arabia and its backers in Yemen have become an international fiasco - a debacle - and an indelible mark of shame for Riyadh and its Western backers, particularly the United States of America.
Images and headlines of Saudi war crimes in Yemen have caused acute embarrassment in Washington - so much so that the House and Senate have now passed resolutions admonishing Donald Trump and his administration for aiding and abetting war crimes in Yemen, requiring the administration to halt all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. The belated action by the Senate has been cold comfort for the Yemeni people though, who have seen their country devastated and their loved ones killed in a senseless war which has dragged on for nearly four years.
Over 14,000 Yemenis, including thousands of women and children have been killed in Saudi Arabia's senseless war in Yemen.
