An airstrike hit the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Friday, a day after deadly Israeli raids on Yemen, according to statements from the Houthi rebels.
The Houthis, who control Sanaa and are backed by Iran, accused the United States and the United Kingdom of carrying out the attack.
In a statement shared on their Telegram channel, the Houthis denounced the airstrike as an "American and British aggression." The rebels did not provide specific details about casualties or the extent of the damage caused by the strike.
This development comes amid heightened tensions in Yemen, a country already plagued by years of civil war and foreign interventions.
Thursday’s Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeted Houthi-controlled sites, intensifying regional rivalries and drawing the Houthis further into the broader geopolitical conflict involving Israel, the U.S., and their allies.
The Houthis have been vocal about their support for Palestine and have recently launched drone and missile attacks on Israeli targets, framing their actions as retaliation for what they view as aggression against the Palestinian people.
