Yemeni government forces announced airstrikes targeting what they described as 'high-value' sites in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa, following reports of loud explosions in the city. Additional strikes were reported in Saada and Taiz as well.
The Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government said it had intercepted drones and missiles launched by the Houthi movement, known formally as Ansar Allah, as part of the latest exchange of attacks in the long-running conflict.
The coalition further accused the Houthis of attacking the Taiba power station located near the Saudi city of Medina, alleging that the group targeted energy infrastructure beyond Yemen's borders as part of its campaign.
The reported strikes and counter-accusations reflect the continued volatility of the conflict between the Yemeni government, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, and the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of northern Yemen including the capital.
Neither side's claims were independently verified in the initial reporting, and the full scope of damage or casualties from the exchanges was not immediately detailed. The incident adds to a long pattern of cross-border strikes and interceptions that have characterized the conflict in recent years.
