Saudi airstrike hits textile factory in Yemen’s Hodeidah province
Saudi warplanes struck a textile factory in Zabid district of Yemen’s Hodeidah province on Monday, according to regional reports.
An airstrike on a textile factory in western Yemen has added another civilian‑linked site to a long list of locations hit in the country’s conflict.
Regional reports said Saudi warplanes attacked a textile factory on Monday in the district of Zabid, in Hodeidah province. The accounts did not specify casualties or the scale of damage, and there was no immediate public comment from Saudi officials.
The strike comes amid continued fighting between the Saudi‑backed side and forces aligned with Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis. On the same day, Yemeni Armed Forces said that approximately 127 Houthi militia leaders and members had been killed or wounded, underscoring the intensity of the clashes they describe.
Hodeidah lies on Yemen’s Red Sea coast and has been a central front in the war. Industrial facilities there provide rare formal employment in an economy battered by years of conflict.
Further satellite imagery, on‑the‑ground photos or statements from the parties involved will clarify how badly the Zabid factory was hit and whether the strike triggers new displacement or local protests in an area already under heavy economic strain.
