Overview
- Yemen’s Houthi leadership confirmed on Aug. 30 that Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi was killed on Aug. 28 along with several ministers during a government workshop in Sanaa.
- The Israeli military said fighter jets struck a Houthi military compound in a complex, intelligence-driven operation aimed at senior figures, with the final outcome still being assessed.
- Deputy prime minister Mohammed Ahmed Miftah was appointed acting prime minister as Houthi authorities pledged continuity of governance and vowed to press on with their campaign.
- Casualty totals remain unverified, with Houthi-run outlets reporting additional ministers and officials were wounded and receiving treatment.
- The strike capped a week of exchanges that included a Houthi missile toward southern Israel and earlier Israeli raids in Sanaa that local officials say killed at least 10 and injured more than 90, keeping risks to Red Sea shipping and regional stability high.
