The rebels have targeted more than 60 vessels by firing missiles and drones in their campaign that has killed a total of four sailors. They seized one vessel and sank two since November.
A U.S.-led coalition has been battling the Houthis.
Early Saturday, the U.S. military's Central Command said it destroyed seven Houthi drones and a "ground control station vehicle" in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The Houthis on Friday had reported airstrikes around Hodeida's airport, which long has been suspected of being used as a rebel launch site.
