**SANAA, Yemen**
The Houthis on Saturday said the US and Israeli airstrikes targeted the capital Sanaa, as President Donald Trump announced strikes on targets in Yemen.
According to 26 September Net, the website affiliated with the Houthi-run Defense Ministry, local sources said "American-Israeli aircraft launched a series of airstrikes on the capital, Sanaa."
“Powerful explosions were heard as a result of the strikes,” the sources said.
The Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah television channel also reported that Sanaa was targeted. It said the strikes targeted residential neighborhoods in Shu’aub district, north of the capital.
Trump on Truth Social said he ordered the military to launch "powerful" and "decisive" action against the Houthis.
“Your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don’t, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before,” Trump said.
Witnesses told Anadolu that airstrikes also hit the Geraf neighborhood in northern Sanaa, resulting in powerful explosions.
Details on casualties or damage caused by the attacks were not immediately available.
In solidarity with Gaza, Houthis had attacked Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones since late 2023, disrupting global trade.
The group halted its attacks when the Gaza ceasefire was declared in January.
But it threatened to resume the attacks when Israel blocked all aid into Gaza after the end of the first phase of the ceasefire in early March.
