Israeli navy ships targeted the Red Sea ports of Hudaydah, Ras Issa and al-Salif, a nearby power station, and the cargo ship Galaxy Leader.

The Houthis claimed their air defenses "successfully" confronted the Israeli attack. Following the strikes, two missiles were launched from Yemen towards Israel according to the Israeli military. The Ras Kanatib power plant, which supplies electricity to Ibb and Taizz cities, was targeted by Israel as it was used to power Houthi military operations.
