The city of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, reported a rocket attack that caused four explosions. Local authorities cited by RIA News confirmed the incident and noted similar reports from other Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
Officials in Sanaa described four separate air strikes hitting the capital during the night. The bursts of activity were part of broader fighting that has affected several urban centers in the country.
In addition to Sanaa, explosions were reported in the port city of Hodeidah on the Red Sea coast and in Taiz, located toward the central region of Yemen. Both cities are under the control of the Ansarullah movement, known as the Houthis, and have experienced recurrent security incidents amid ongoing conflict.
Media commentary circulated on social media suggesting that Britain and the United States were considering air strikes against targets associated with the Ansarullah movement in Yemen. A journalist, identified as Stephen Swinford, claimed that British and American leaders had informed their governments of an imminent strike window. The postings reflected speculation about external involvement in the fighting, rather than confirmed military plans.
Earlier reports indicated that a carrier strike group had moved into the Strait of Aden in response to Houthi attacks, signaling a heightened level of international military attention in the Red Sea region. Analysts note that the situation remains fluid, with regional actors and international powers closely monitoring developments and responses from Yemeni factions and their allies.
