Dec 19, 2024, 01:38 AM

Reports indicate a series of airstrikes have targeted the port city of Hodeidah and the capital of Yemen, Sana'a, following a Houthi missile launch aimed at Israel. Initial reports emerged on December 17, 2024, detailing airstrikes in Hodeidah, which were confirmed shortly thereafter. By December 19, reports intensified, with multiple explosions reported in both Hodeidah and Sana'a. The strikes are believed to be aimed at Houthi positions, and there are accounts of extensive damage, including a power station hit in Sana'a, leading to widespread power outages. The airstrikes appear to be a response to the Houthi's recent ballistic missile activity, which was intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace. As of now, the situation remains fluid with ongoing developments in the region.
