Houthi Health Ministry spokesperson Anees Alasbahi told the Associated Press that Saudi Arabia had carried out the strikes, and posted on X that several homes had been hit. The Houthi-linked Al-Masirah broadcaster showed purported footage of the attack, with piles of debris and wounded people in a hospital. There was no initial comment from Saudi Arabia on the reported strikes.
A yearslong truce in the war fell apart over the summer. The Iran-backed Houthis have controlled Sanaa since the outbreak of the civil war in 2014, while Saudi Arabia backs the Aden-based internationally recognized government. The Houthis pushed forward in an offensive, taking more territory in September, including the Red Sea port city of Mokha and strategic islands in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Also on Saturday, pro-government media reported that Yemeni government forces had repelled a Houthi attack in the contested Taiz province. The Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting a Houthi missile fired toward Riyadh province. On Friday, an airstrike on a market in southern Yemen killed at least 30 people, with Houthi officials and the Yemeni government trading accusations over responsibility.
The United Nations says more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced since the intensification of fighting.
