The Israeli occupation forces announced attempts to intercept a missile launched from Yemen early Wednesday morning.
The IOF's announcement came after air raid sirens sounded in the occupied Palestinian territories in the north, sending settlers rushing to shelters.
Israeli media outlets reported that northern settlers heard "twenty explosions in the area," suggesting the missile likely targeted the Ramat David Air Base, south of Haifa.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Sanaa reported Tuesday evening that US aircraft carried out four airstrikes on the al-Salem district in Saada, northern Yemen.
In western Yemen, the US-led strikes targeted Kamaran Island in the Red Sea, located in the Hodeidah Governorate, with a series of airstrikes. It also carried out two airstrikes on al-Salif District.
US-led airstrikes continue to target various regions in Yemen, particularly the capital Sanaa, resulting in civilian casualties, including women and children.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Tuesday the downing of a US-made MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Hajjah province, claiming it was conducting "hostile missions" in Yemeni airspace.
According to a statement read by Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the drone was shot down with a domestically produced surface-to-air missile. This marks the seventh MQ-9 drone downed in April alone, and the 22nd since the beginning of what Yemen terms the "Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad" campaign.
