The strikes targeted missile and rocket launch platforms and weapons depots in Marib and al-Jawf provinces, killing several Houthi members, including missile specialists, the broadcaster said. In a televised statement aired by Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV, military spokesperson Yahya Sarea claimed both operations "achieved their objectives," without providing evidence. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Yemen's Houthi group and Iran would face "major military punishment" if the Houthis continue attacking ships.
