Saudi Arabia is not linked to or participating in strikes targeting Hodeidah in Yemen, Ministry of Defense spokesperson Turki al-Malki said on Sunday.

Saudi Arabia will not allow its airspace to be infiltrated by any party, he added.

The remarks came after Israel bombed sites affiliated with the Houthi group in Yemen, a day after a Houthi explosive drone killed a man in Israel's Tel Aviv. 

Houthi authorities said the Israeli strike targeted oil storage and electric facilities in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, killing three people and injuring 87 others.
