Ibb — More than 20 violent explosions shook the city of Ibb and its surrounding areas in central Yemen on Sunday, according to local sources. Preliminary assessments suggest the explosions were caused by the launch of ballistic missiles directed at targets outside the province. While no immediate reports of casualties or damage in Ibb were confirmed, the intensity of the blasts highlighted the scale of the missile activity. The incident comes amid heightened military escalation across Yemen, with Houthi forces and government troops engaged in intensified confrontations on multiple fronts. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation, as fears grow that the missile launches could signal further escalation in the conflict.
