Yemen : Satellite images appear to show damage at Houthi ports after Israeli strikes
Publicly available images taken by the European Union’s Sentinel-2 satellite appear to show damage to a Houthi-controlled port in the Yemeni city of Hodeida and another port nearby following Israeli strikes there this week.
The photos show extensive damage to the Hodeida port and at least three ships there, as compared to satellite photos taken before the strikes, with one vessel largely submerged and two others unmoored from the dock. Nearby buildings appear to be flattened, and parts of the concrete dock are no longer visible.
The images also appear to show damage to a building identified online as a fish market in a part of the city south of the port.
Extensive damage can also be seen at the nearby port of as-Salif.
On Tuesday, British security firm Ambrey said it had observed imagery showing damage to the concrete docks at the Hodeida port as well as to two Barbados-flagged bulk carriers.
Israel said Monday it had carried out extensive airstrikes on Houthi targets including the ports of Hodeida, Ras Isa and Salif, and the Ras Khatib power station.
