ISTANBUL (AA) - The Israeli army issued evacuation warnings late Sunday for three ports and a power station in western Yemen ahead of airstrikes, citing military activities by the Houthi group in the locations.

Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued via X “an urgent warning to those present in the ports of Al Hudaydah, Ras Isa, Al-Salif and inside Al Hudaydah power station—Ras al-Khatib—which are under the control of the Houthi regime.”

He added that the Israeli army “will soon carry out airstrikes in these areas due to the military activities being conducted there.”

“We urge all those present in the specified areas, as well as ships anchored nearby, to evacuate immediately,” the army added.
