The US military launched airstrikes on the Houthi-held Yemeni capital Sanaa on Saturday night, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

The airstrikes hit the Attan area, said the report, without providing further information or revealing any casualties.

Residents of Sanaa said the airstrikes struck a missile depot in Attan Mountain, which is a military site controlled by the Houthi group in the southern part of the capital city.

A huge explosion was heard across the city following the strike at Attan Mountain.

In a statement on social media platform X, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said its forces conducted precision airstrikes against a missile storage facility and a command-and-control facility operated by Houthis.

"During the operation, 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," CENTCOM said.

The airstrikes came hours after the Houthi group said it was behind a ballistic missile attack that hit central Israel and injured at least 20 Israelis in Tel Aviv.
