Israeli Navy strikes Haziz power plant in Sanaa, targeting Houthi infrastructure.
Houthi sources report damage to generators and contain fires caused by the strikes.
Israeli military claims attacks are retaliatory responses to Houthi missile assaults.

The Israeli Navy conducted a strike on the Haziz Central Power Station near Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, targeting facilities claimed to be used by the Houthi movement. The attack occurred early on Sunday and involved significant damage to electricity generators, according to Houthi-run media and local reports. No casualties were immediately reported, but the strike drew rapid condemnation from Houthi officials who characterized it as “US-Israeli aggression,” as stated by Hizam al-Assad on social media, reflecting ongoing hostilities in the region, according to aa, aljazeera, trtglobal, and reuters.

The Israeli military justified the attack by asserting it was in retaliation for repeated Houthi provocations, including missile attacks against Israel itself. They reported that several explosions were heard in the vicinity of the strike, and fire crews were able to contain blazes as a result of the collateral damage. The situation highlights the escalating tensions in the region as the Houthis have been actively targeting Israeli interests and ships in the Red Sea, which they assert is in support of Palestinians during the ongoing conflict, according to aa, aljazeera, trtglobal, and reuters.
