The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi militia struck a house in the Ayal Sayyad area in Nahm directorate, killing all residents and damaging an adjacent house. The incident occurred in Nahm directorate, part of Sanaa governorate.
For his part, the official spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Colonel Majid Al-Nazili, clarified that the missile failed to continue its trajectory and fell on a citizen's house. He pointed out that failures in launching ballistic missiles by the militia were observed in recent days, causing them to deviate and fall in populated areas.
In the same context, the spokesperson mentioned that similar incidents occurred in Sanaa, Taiz, Ibb, and Saada, warning of the risks these incidents pose to civilians and their property. He also held the Houthi militia responsible for using missiles to threaten the Bab al-Mandab Strait, international sea lanes, and the security of global navigation and trade.
Al-Nazili added that the militia's missile storage facilities and launch platforms were subjected to strikes in recent weeks, affecting their missile capabilities. He explained that air strikes targeted military sites in Saada governorate, resulting in the death of experts and field commanders specialized in operating and launching missiles.
The spokesperson also noted the entry of new systems into service with the Yemeni Air Force, confirming that they achieved operational results with trained national crews. The Yemeni Armed Forces had previously announced the killing and injuring of approximately 620 Houthi militia members, and the destruction and damage of approximately 190 vehicles, armored vehicles, and military equipment, through 1,392 precise and direct targeting operations during the past 24 hours as part of the "Yemen Dawn" operation.
