Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis on Saturday said a Saudi strike on Hodeida killed five members of the same families, as both sides press attacks.

"Five people, the head of the family, two of his children and his two wives, have been martyred and his daughter wounded as a result of a Saudi enemy air strike on the home of citizen Abdulwahed al-Wasabi in the Al-Tuhayta district" of Hodeida, the Houthis' Al-Masirah TV channel reported.
