"Israel" has launched an aerial aggression targeting the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday, hitting the southeastern parts of the area with three airstrikes, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Our correspondent stated that the Israeli aggression targeted a petroleum product depot southeast of Sanaa belonging to the Yemeni Oil Corporation on Al-Sitteen Street, killing and injuring several as they were filling up their cars at the station.

The Yemeni Oil Corporation also confirmed that the situation was stable and under control and reassured citizens, according to our correspondent, who noted that the Yemeni air defenses had disrupted a squadron of Israeli warplanes, forcing them to leave the airspace.

Later, the Civil Defense Authority revealed that its crews were able to extinguish the fire in the area.

Speaking just outside the petrol station, the Yemeni Oil Corporation spokesperson, Essam al-Mutawakel, said the fuel consumed by Israeli enemy aircraft to reach Yemen and target the fuel station exceeded by far the amount of fuel stored in the targeted station's tanks.

Additional airstrikes targeted al-Asr west of Sanaa.

Moreover, Israeli occupation forces have again struck the central Haziz power station in Sanaa's southern Sanhan district, a facility that engineering crews had only just restored to service a week after it was disabled in a previous Israeli attack.

Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 14, citing sources, reported that the presidential palace in Sanaa was the focus of the aggression, but our correspondent revealed that the presidential palace in Sanaa was previously bombed and has been abandoned for years.

In this context, Yemeni Health Ministry spokesperson Anis al-Asbahi told Al Mayadeen that four civilians were martyred and 67 were injured in a near-final toll of the Israeli aggression on civilian and service facilities in Sanaa.

Aggression will not pass without consequences: Top Yemeni officials

Yemen preserves right, as sovereign state, to defend its land and people

Sanaa's government denounced the Israeli airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.

In a statement on Sunday, it stated that the Israeli warplanes targeted key civilian infrastructure, including the vital Haziz power station, which supplies electricity to homes, hospitals, and critical services, causing widespread destruction and power outages across the city. The government also described the attack on a fuel station as an attempt to "paralyze daily life and create the illusion of victory amid rising plumes of smoke."

The statement condemned the assault as a “flagrant violation of Yemen’s sovereignty” and “a new war crime added to Israel’s black record,” stressing that the aggression is part of "Israel’s" ongoing campaign against the Arab and Islamic world, supported directly by the United States.

It further warned that "Israel" and Washington bear full responsibility for the consequences of the strikes, including casualties, property damage, and destruction of vital infrastructure.

The government reaffirmed Yemen’s steadfast support for the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, vowing that Israeli bombardments would not deter Yemen from its “legitimate and unwavering stance” in defense of Palestine.

“Supporting Palestine is a religious, national, and humanitarian duty; a red line that cannot be compromised,” the statement said.

Finally, the government stressed Yemen’s right, as a sovereign state, to defend its land and people, and to respond to Israeli attacks “with all necessary measures to safeguard national security.”

Ansar Allah has broad and well-defined list of Israeli targets: Official

A Yemeni official source told Al Mayadeen that the attacks on civilian infrastructure are reckless and will not lessen Yemen's support for Gaza, emphasizing that their weapons will continue to reach the occupied Palestinian territories unimpeded by any defensive systems.

The source emphasized that Yemen's military capabilities are continuously developing and that the Israeli occupation is spreading inaccurate information following Yemen's top-tier operations.

They added that Yemen has successfully enforced a naval blockade against "Israel", declaring that it will not be limited to this measure but will instead continue its operations toward various areas of occupied Palestine. The source also warned that "the Israeli criminals must halt their aggression and siege on Gaza, for the Yemeni Armed Forces will not stop at Lydd Airport."

The official clarified that Ansar Allah has a broad and well-defined list of targets across the occupied Palestinian territories, adding that Yemen's air defenses had surprised the enemy by successfully countering the attack today.

The source concluded by stressing that "the impact of the Yemeni army's operations extends beyond the security sphere to the economic, military, and social spheres, and is also affecting the enemy's infrastructure."
