Yemeni forces say strikes conducted against Houthi targets in Sanaa, Saada

Yemeni forces reported conducting strikes against Houthi targets in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and the group's stronghold of Saada on Sunday morning. The Yemen Armed Forces, aligned with the internationally recognized government, spokesman stated that the strikes targeted what they referred to as "vital targets," though no additional details were provided.

The Houthi-run Al Masirah TV earlier reported an attack by Saudi Arabia on Sanaa, though Saudi Arabia had not yet confirmed the claim. While the conflict between the Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-backed government largely halted after a 2022 truce, fighting has resurfaced as a result of the ongoing war between Iran and the United States.

The flare-up began in July when the Houthis imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, attacking Saudi territory and shipping, while Houthi forces also expanded their control along Yemen's Red Sea coast. In response, Saudi Arabia has carried out air strikes in Yemen and provided support to government forces in their efforts to counter the Houthis.
