Houthi-affiliated media reported that the strikes killed nine people and wounded at least 174 others. The airstrikes reportedly hit several civilian areas, including residential neighborhoods in the Raqas Street area of Maeen District, the Hadda area, and the Nahdain area in al-Sabeen District. The Dahban power station in northern Sanaa was also said to be targeted.
The attacks came less than 24 hours after Houthi forces launched two drones at a tourist facility in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, wounding more than 50 people. The group framed the assault as support for the Palestinian people amid the Israeli war that has killed more than 65,000.
