Houthi commanders in Yemen have reportedly left the capital, Sanaa, relocating to other areas due to concerns about potential attacks by Israel or the United States. This follows the early Saturday missile attack on Tel Aviv carried out by the Houthis, during which a ballistic missile landed in the city. The Houthis have also threatened to strike the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. Media outlets reported explosions and airstrikes in Sanaa, with targets including military sites and barracks in the Attan and Naqam areas. There are conflicting reports about who conducted the latest airstrikes, with some sources suggesting the United States and the United Kingdom were responsible, while Israeli officials have stated that their forces were not involved.
