Middle East crisis live: Israel issues evacuation order for Yemen ports

The Israeli military issued warnings on Wednesday to evacuate three seaports in Yemen including Ras Issa, Hodeidah and Salif.

The army claimed the ports were being used by the Iran-aligned Houthi group.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards its territory.

US president Donald Trump has previously said that the US and Yemen's Houthis had come to a ceasefire agreement which would stop attacks on shipping in the region, however the Houthis said they will continue to fire missiles and drones towards Israel.
