STORYLINE:
A gas station in Yemen's capital was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes, with burnt-out cars and trucks surrounding the area.

Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen's capital on Sunday, days after the Houthi rebels fired a missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023.

The Iranian-backed Houthis said multiple areas across Sanaa were hit, while the Houthi-run health ministry said at least six people were killed and 86 others were wounded, seven of them in critical condition.

The rebels' Al-Masirah satellite television reported that a strike hit an oil facility owned by the country's main oil company, which is controlled by the rebels.

Israel’s military said it struck the Asar oil facility and the Hizaz power plant, which it called “a significant electricity supply facility for military activities,” along with a military site where the presidential palace is located.

The Houthis have launched missiles and drones toward Israel and targeted ships in the Red Sea for over 22 months, saying they are attacking in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war in Gaza.

The Israeli strikes were the first to hit Yemen since a week ago, when Israel said it targeted energy infrastructure it believed was used by the rebels.
