The Yemeni government announced that its armed forces carried out a series of targeted air strikes within the Houthi-held capital of Sanaa. According to a statement released by military spokesperson Colonel Majid al-Nuzaili on the social media platform X, the operations were directed at what the government described as "legitimate vital military targets."

Government-affiliated media outlets reported that the strikes specifically hit positions in the Al-Nahdain and Jabal Attan districts of Sanaa. Colonel al-Nuzaili emphasized the government's operational capacity, stating that the armed forces possess the necessary capabilities to execute strategic strikes against Houthi positions. While the government has framed these actions as a necessary military response, the Houthi leadership has not yet provided a detailed public response or casualty assessment regarding the specific damage caused by these strikes. The situation remains fluid as both sides continue to maintain a state of active military engagement in the ongoing conflict.
