Explosions Reported Across Houthi-Controlled Cities in Yemen
Multiple explosions were reported in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and several other cities. Houthi-run media confirmed the attacks, which coincide with government plans for a new military offensive.
Residents and local media in Yemen reported a series of explosions across several cities, including the Houthi-controlled capital of Sanaa. According to reports from Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Houthi-affiliated media outlets, the blasts were heard in Sanaa, as well as the cities of Taiz, Saada, and Amran.
While the exact source of the explosions remains unconfirmed by independent international observers, the timing of the events aligns with heightened tensions in the region. The Yemeni foreign ministry recently announced that a cabinet meeting was held to coordinate a new military offensive against the Houthi movement. The Houthis have maintained control over significant portions of Yemeni territory since August, and the government appears to be mobilizing to challenge that control.
There is currently no official confirmation regarding casualties or specific damage caused by the explosions. The situation remains fluid, with reports of incoming attacks being disseminated primarily through Houthi-run channels and international news wires monitoring the region.
