TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has claimed responsibility in a statement for an airstrike on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, on Saturday night. US Central Command forces carried out precision airstrikes on missile storage facilities and Houthi (Ansarullah) command and control centers in Sana'a, according to a CENTCOM statement.
According to CENTCOM, the attack was carried out with the aim of disrupting and reducing operations against warships in the Red Sea. As reported by Antara, CENTCOM also stated that US forces managed to shoot down several drones and anti-ship cruise missiles over the Red Sea during the operation.
News sources had previously reported heavy explosions in several areas of Sana'a amid conflicting reports that Israel had carried out new attacks on the city. IRNA quoted several media reports as indicating that on Saturday night the Atan area southwest of Sana'a was targeted by bombing.
According to Yemeni media outlets, Zionist warplanes were seen flying in the skies over Sana'a. However, the Israeli military radio claimed that the attack was not the work of its government. Some sources also said that the attack could have been carried out by the United States.
So far, no reports have been published about the exact targets and the extent of the damage and possible casualties.
A military analyst for the Israeli television channel Kan previously said that the Israeli regime is preparing another attack on Yemen.
Earlier, Israeli media reported Yemeni missile attacks on military targets in Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and the sound of warning sirens in Tel Aviv, with emergency services announcing 18 Zionists were injured. Israeli air defenses were unable to counter hypersonic missiles fired from Yemen.
The Zionist newspaper Ma'ariv wrote that the Yemeni army has fired more than 200 missiles and more than 170 drones at Israeli targets since the start of the regime's war on Gaza in October 2023.
