00:23Explosions rock Yemen's capital.
00:26Sana'a has reportedly been hit by a fresh wave of airstrikes, with explosions heard
00:32across the city and thick smoke rising from several locations.
00:37Reports from Yemen say strikes were seen around areas including Naqim, Atan, Al-Sabin,
00:44and Al-Nahadain Mountains.
00:46Houthi-run Al-Masira TV has described the attacks as Saudi aggression, accusing Saudi forces
00:54of carrying out the strikes on the capital.
00:57Houthi-linked social media accounts later claimed that as many as 26 airstrikes were carried
01:03out across Sana'a during this latest wave, but those numbers have not been independently
01:08verified and a detailed list of targets has not been publicly confirmed.
01:14There has also been no immediate official statement from Saudi Arabia or the Saudi-led coalition
01:20confirming or denying responsibility for the reported attacks.
01:25Meanwhile, Houthi media reported another series of Saudi missile and artillery attacks in Sa'ada
01:31province, a major Houthi stronghold in northern Yemen.
01:35The reported strikes on Sana'a come as Yemen faces another sharp escalation in fighting.
01:41A long-standing truce has collapsed and cross-border attacks involving Houthi missiles and drones
01:47followed by Saudi and coalition airstrikes have intensified.
01:52The timing is also significant because fierce ground battles are continuing in southwestern Yemen,
01:58particularly around Thais.
02:01Houthi forces are fighting Saudi-backed Yemeni government troops in the region, adding another
02:07major front to the conflict.
02:08Sana'a has been under Houthi control since 2014 when the group seized the capital and
02:15forced Yemen into a prolonged political and military crisis.
02:20Since then, the capital has repeatedly been targeted by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes during
02:25different phases of the war.
02:27The latest reported attacks also come amid continued Houthi pressure around Red Sea shipping routes,
02:34adding to concerns over a wider regional escalation.
02:37Videos and reports from the capital show smoke rising from several areas following the reported
02:44strikes.
02:44However, the full scale of the damage remains unclear.
02:48There are also no independently verified casualty figures available at this stage.
02:54While international and local reports have corroborated that explosions and air strikes occurred
03:00in Sana'a, the attribution specifically to Saudi aircraft remains based on reports and Houthi
03:06accusations, rather than an official confirmation from Riyadh.
03:10With fighting intensifying across multiple fronts, Yemen's latest escalation could have
03:17consequences far beyond the capital.
03:19And as Sana'a wakes up to another reported wave of strikes, the biggest questions remain
03:25unanswered.
03:26What exactly was targeted?
03:28How much damage was caused?
03:31And will the fighting escalate even further?
