Explosions were reported in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, as the Saudi-led military coalition said it intercepted drones and missiles launched by Houthi forces toward southern Saudi Arabia.
Yemeni government forces separately carried out 27 raids across the Taiz front in southwestern Yemen, according to reports from the area.
Coalition accusations
The coalition also accused the Houthi movement, known formally as Ansar Allah, of attacking the Taiba power station in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The reported attack on infrastructure inside Saudi territory marks an escalation in cross-border strikes linked to the conflict.
The exchange of strikes and interceptions reflects the continued volatility along the Yemen-Saudi border and within Yemen itself, even as various actors have periodically pursued ceasefire arrangements over the course of the long-running conflict.
Details on casualties or damage resulting from the explosions in Sanaa, the raids in Taiz, or the alleged attack on the Taiba power station were not confirmed in available reporting.
The coalition's interception claim and the Houthi-linked attack allegation have not been independently verified. Yemen's conflict has drawn in the Saudi-led coalition supporting the internationally recognized government against Houthi forces controlling much of the country's north, including Sanaa.
The reported events add to a pattern of continued military activity across multiple fronts in and around Yemen.
