A violent explosion rocked the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Saturday evening, with reports of intensive fighter jet activity in the skies, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent who confirmed that two airstrikes targeted Mount Attan, located south of the city.

Yemen's state news agency, SABA, reported that American-British warplanes carried out an aggression targeting Sanaa's Attan area.

In turn, Israeli media quickly denied any involvement, which comes amid escalating tensions between "Israel" and Yemen.

These tensions have been further fueled by "Israel's" increasing threats against Sanaa, particularly in light of its continued support for Palestine, its people, and its Resistance.

CENTCOM published a statement on X announcing the aggression against Yemen. In the statement, CENTCOM claimed to have targeted Ansar Allah's "missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility."

The statement also claimed that the attack aimed "to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, such as attacks against U.S. Navy warships and merchant vessels in the Southern Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden."

Additionally, it stated that "CENTCOM forces also shot down multiple Houthi one way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles (OWA UAV) and an anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) over the Red Sea," adding that the aggression "involved U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy assets, including F/A-18s."

Meanwhile, Sanaa's Information Minister Hashem Sharaf al-Din commented on the aggression saying that Washington has clearly "learned from [past] mistakes," adding that the US will continue to be "humiliated" by Yemenis. 

On his part, Sanaa's Foreign Minister Jamal Ahmad Amer said that any state that assists Israeli aggression on Yemen would be considered a partner of the aggression. 

Yemen launches Palestine 2 hypersonic missile at 'Israel'

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced earlier today the successful launch of a hypersonic ballistic missile, Palestine 2, targeting an Israeli military site in occupied Yaffa in support of the Palestinian cause and Resistance and in response to ongoing massacres in Gaza.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed Saturday that the operation achieved its objectives and reiterated Yemen's commitment to continued military action.

The Yemeni Armed Forces confirmed that the operation is part of the fifth phase of the "Promised Victory and Holy Jihad" battle and declared that the missile struck its target with precision, while the IOF failed to intercept it.

In a statement, they emphasized that through this significant operation, they salute the "sons of the great Yemeni people" who have gathered in the squares and fields, reaffirming their determination to confront and challenge the "criminal Israeli enemy". They also extended their support to the fighters in Gaza, praising their ongoing heroic Resistance against the Israeli occupation. 

"The armed forces are determined to strike all enemy targets in the occupied territories," they added, emphasizing that such operations would persist until the aggression against Gaza ends and the siege is lifted.
