On the same day that Saudi Arabia reported intercepting two Houthi-launched missiles aimed at the cities of Taif and Yanbu, Houthi-controlled media outlets claimed that airstrikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa resulted in 11 civilian deaths. According to the Houthi-run reports, the strikes hit a residential area housing workers from a local cement factory, resulting in the deaths of six women and one child.

The Saudi-led coalition, which has been conducting a long-term military campaign against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, has not issued a detailed response regarding the specific casualties in Sanaa. The reports from the Houthi media outlet emphasize the civilian toll of the airstrikes, while the Saudi reports focus on the defensive interception of incoming ballistic missiles. These events highlight the reciprocal nature of the violence in the region, with both sides reporting military or civilian losses as the conflict persists. The lack of independent verification for the casualty figures reported by the Houthi media makes it difficult to confirm the exact circumstances of the deaths in Sanaa, though the strikes are consistent with the coalition's ongoing air campaign against Houthi positions.
