Arab coalition declares Yemen's Hodeidah a military zone
A Saudi-led coalition has declared Yemen’s Hodeidah city a military zone, urging civilians in the Houthi-held Red Sea port to stay in their homes
The military coalition of mainly Gulf Arab states said in a statement late on Sunday civilians in Hodeidah should "remain in their homes and avoid clashes" and that the city would be declared a military zone from 10 a.m. on Monday until further notice
Earlier this week, Yemeni government forces backed by Gulf Arab troops recaptured the Red Sea city of al-Mokha in a push that paved the way for an advance on Hodeidah, Yemen's main port city
