Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran-backed Houthis rock Yemen’s capital

At least six people were killed and 86 injured after multiple areas across the Yemeni capital of Sanaa were hit by Israeli airstrikes, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.

Israeli airstrikes hit the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Sunday, days after the Houthi rebels fired a missile towards Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023.

At least six people were killed and 86 wounded after multiple areas across Sanaa were hit, according to the Iranian-backed Houthi-run health ministry.

Israel’s military said it struck the Asar and Hezyaz power plants, calling them “a significant electricity supply facility for military activities,” along with a military site where the presidential palace is located.

Residents of the capital said they heard explosions close to a closed military academy and the presidential palace.
