SANAA/JERUSALEM, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) — Israel struck a power plant south of Yemen's capital Sanaa on Sunday morning, the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV channel reported.
“The attack targeted the power generators at the power plant, causing them to fail,” the statement said, without specifying whether the attack was carried out by planes, missiles or drones. Hours later, it was reported that the flames had been extinguished and there were no casualties.
Hezam al-Assad, a spokesman for the Houthis, condemned the attack on social media X, calling Israel “a criminal and bankrupt enemy that only targets public services and civilian facilities: electricity, water…”
Residents in the area reported hearing two explosions, and eyewitnesses told Xinhua that smoke was seen near the site.
The Israeli military later confirmed the attack, saying it targeted an energy infrastructure facility used by the Houthis. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the strike, which was carried out from a distance of about 2,000 km, was in response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel. –0–
