The Ministry of Health in the Sanaa government confirmed on Monday that the number of victims from the latest Israeli aggression on the Yemeni capital has risen to six martyrs and 86 wounded.
Among the wounded were seven children and three women, with 21 people listed in critical condition. The casualties resulted from multiple Israeli air raids carried out on Sunday, August 24, targeting civilian infrastructure in the city.
Haziz power station targeted
The aggression struck the Haziz power station located at the oil company’s facility on Al-Sitteen Street in Sanaa. The strikes caused a temporary disruption in the area before the Yemen Oil Company announced that the situation had stabilized. The Ministry of Interior later reopened roads around the targeted sites.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Sanaa reported that Yemeni air defense units engaged Israeli warplanes during the attack, forcing them to leave Yemeni airspace.
Yemeni operations in support of Gaza
The aggression comes amid rising tensions in the region, with Yemen continuing to face repeated Israeli attacks alongside its blockade and humanitarian crisis.
Yemen has maintained a naval blockade of Israeli ports, aiming to disrupt supply chains and strategic trade routes. Yemeni military leaders have reiterated that these operations will continue until the siege on Gaza is lifted and Israeli aggression brought to an end.
Earlier this week, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Ansar Allah, reaffirmed that Yemeni support operations would persist on both the military and naval fronts. He described these actions as effective responses to Israeli aggression and framed them as part of Yemen’s broader role in defending the Palestinian cause.
In his weekly address, al-Houthi condemned "Israel’s" "crime of the century," the deliberate starvation and bombardment of Gaza, warning that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children face death by famine under siege conditions. He also warned against Israeli schemes targeting al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, framing Yemen’s operations as both a deterrent and a contribution to the wider resistance front.
