Residents of Sanaa witnessed a night of unprecedented terror as a wave of Israeli airstrikes caused massive explosions across the Houthi-controlled capital. The scale and intensity of the attack were unlike previous strikes in the city’s long and painful war.
Reports from the ground described a massive fireball that lit up the entire city, followed by the deafening sound of multiple blasts. The strikes hit an oil facility, a power station, and a central building, sending shockwaves through residential neighborhoods.
The Houthi security sources confirmed the strikes targeted multiple locations, resulting in at least six deaths and dozens of injuries. For the city’s inhabitants, it was a terrifying demonstration of Israel’s military power and its willingness to project it deep into their territory.
This “night of explosions” has left the city on edge, with citizens bracing for potential further attacks as the conflict with Israel enters a new and more direct phase of violence.
