Early this morning, explosions were heard in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. Local Yemeni media reported that the Israeli regime targeted the Haziz power plant in the Sanhan area, south of Sanaa.

Why it matters:

The strike shows that the Israeli regime targets critical civilian infrastructure in Yemen, potentially disrupting electricity and public services in the region. 

 

The big picture:

The Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure, especially electricity and water, worsen the humanitarian conditions in Yemen.

 

Key points:

  • Explosions and smoke were reported in the Sanhan area near Sanaa.
  • Hazem Al-Asad, a member of Ansarallah’s political bureau, described the attack as part of a strategy to target civilian infrastructure like electricity and water facilities.
  • Emergency response teams rapidly contained the resulting fire.
  • The attack may cause disruptions to the electricity supply in southern Sanaa.
