Israel launched airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen following a missile attack on a port city, killing at least nine people. The strikes targeted Houthi infrastructure in Hodeida, Salif, and Sanaa. The Houthi-controlled al-Masirah channel reported strikes on power stations in Sanaa, exacerbating the city's already dire electricity crisis.

The rebels have so far avoided the same level of intense military strikes that have targeted Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, fellow members of Tehran's self-described 'Axis of Resistance.' Israel's military said that it conducted two waves of strikes in a preplanned operation that began early Thursday and involved 14 fighter jets. The military said the first wave of strikes targeted Houthi infrastructure at the ports of Hodeida, Salif and the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea. Then, in a second wave of strikes, the military said its fighter jets targeted Houthi energy infrastructure in Sanaa. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah said that some of the strikes targeted power stations in the capital, posting videos of flames engulfing one structure, as civil defense workers doused it in water, trying to extinguish the fire. The strikes on the two power plants will worsen the electricity crisis faced by Sanaa, where those who can afford it run gas generators or get power from private providers because of the city's long-failing infrastructure. 'Approximately one quarter of Sanaa — particularly shops, stores and commercial facilities — will face immediate and severe disruptions,' said Mohammed al-Basha, a Yemen analyst. 'In a city already staggering under a profound economic crisis, 2025 is set to be exceptionally challenging'
