Israeli air strikes near the presidential palace in Yemen have left six people dead and 86 injured. The scene of a fireball shooting up into the sky was terrifying

Israeli air strikes on the presidential residence and other civilian facilities in the Yemeni capital Sana 'a have killed at least six people and injured 86 others.

Xinhua News Agency reported that Israel launched attacks on Sunday afternoon (August 24th), with locations including the presidential residence, the Assar Power Plant and the Hizzaz power plant, as well as a fuel storage facility. Israel claims that these facilities are being used for military activities.

The Ministry of Health, which is controlled by the Houthi armed group in Yemen, said on Monday (25th) that the injured included seven children and three women, and another 21 were in critical condition.

Israel's state-owned TV station Kan TV reported that 14 fighter jets were involved in the attack and the authorities also dropped about 40 bombs.

According to videos circulating on social media platforms, huge fireballs burst out instantly after the dense buildings in Sana 'a were attacked, with orange-red flames shooting straight into the sky, creating a terrifying scene.

The Houthi armed group issued a statement on Sunday night, accusing Israel of "brutal aggression" against civilian facilities and claiming that Israel and the United States are responsible for "heinous crimes". The Houthi armed group also vowed to fight back.

This attack occurred two days after the Houthi forces launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Tel Aviv. At that time, the missile shrapnel blew up some houses, but no one was killed.

The Houthi forces control most of northern Yemen, including the ports of Sana 'a and Hodeidah. Since November 2023, the Houthi forces have launched multiple attacks on Israel to support Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
