Saudi-led air strikes killed 22 civilians and injured around 90 others in the rebel-held Yemeni port city of Hodeida late Wednesday just hours after the rebels celebrated the second anniversary of their seizure of the capital.

A government official said the residential neighbourhood was "probably hit in error."

He said the presidential palace in Hodeida was also hit.

Pictures from Suq al-Hunod showed residents combing the rubble under arclights in a search for survivors.

An American English teacher in Yemen was Kidnapped by Houthis militia in the capital on Tuesday.

Today, Naif Al Qanes, who is a member of Houthi Revolutionary Committee, published a photo of the American teacher on his Twitter account and said "this American was arrested after confirming that he gives the coordinates to the Saudi-led Coalition".

The American teacher, Peter Williams, is the manager of Exceed Language Center in Sana'a.

There were conflicting reports on where the teacher was taken. Yemeni officials told the Associated Press that he was taken from his home in Sanaa.

However, Reuters reported that armed men in civilian clothing entered a school and forced the teacher in their car, while other faculty and students looked on.

"We were shocked when the armed group entered the building. They got to his office and took him to an unknown location," a Yemeni teacher at the school told Reuters.

Shiite rebels known as Houthis captured Sanaa in 2014, and are allied with security forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The civil war in Yemen has led to the remaining Americans in the country to be detained on suspicion of espionage by the Iranian-backed Houthis. The Houthis accuse the U.S. of arming and supporting the Saudi-backed coalition which has intervened in the conflict to aid Yemeni government forces.

Oman had previously facilitated the release of two other Americans held by the Houthis.
