Local media reports that Israel has attacked power plants, a port, and an oil facility in Yemen.
Israel’s military said it has attacked “military targets” belonging to Houthi fighters in Yemen after intercepting a missile fired by the group towards Israel.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said Israeli forces had carried out strikes on Houthi military sites, including ports and energy infrastructure in Yemen’s capital Sanaa.
The Houthi-aligned Al-Masirah TV channel said that a series of “aggressive raids” were launched on Sanaa and the port city of Hodeidah early on Thursday.
The attacks “targeted two central power plants” in Sanaa, while in Hodeidah “the enemy launched four aggressive raids targeting the port… and two raids targeting” an oil facility, Al-Masirah reported.
