Houthi Media Reports New Strikes in Sanaa as Israel Intercepts Third Yemen Drone in a Week

European powers moved to reinstate U.N. sanctions on Iran to increase pressure in the widening confrontation.

Overview

  • Houthi outlets said Israeli airstrikes hit southern and western districts of Sanaa, and residents reported loud explosions.
  • The Israeli military said earlier it downed a drone launched from Yemen, marking the third such attempt in a week.
  • Israel has not issued a public comment on Thursday’s reported strikes, and independent verification from Sanaa remains limited.
  • A separate strike on the city four days earlier killed at least 10 people, according to prior reports.
  • France, Germany and the United Kingdom initiated the U.N. “réplica” process to reimpose sanctions on Iran, targeting assets, arms deals and ballistic missile activities.
