US and UK military forces carried out strikes on Yemen

On the night of January 5, American and British forces attacked Houthi positions. The strike occurred a few hours after a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen towards Israel, reports The Times of Israel.

The Times of Israel, citing Arabic media sources, reported that the Western coalition forces carried out three rounds of strikes on the city of Saada in the mountainous northwest of Yemen, which is controlled by the Houthi rebel group.

There was no confirmation from American or British military sources.

The information about the strikes surfaced a few hours after a ballistic missile was launched from Yemen towards Israel around midnight.

Israeli military officials reported intercepting the missile before it reached Israeli territory. Air raid sirens were heard in the village of Talmei Elazar.

A Houthi spokesperson on Telegram stated that attacks would continue until the hostilities in the Gaza Strip cease.

He did not take direct responsibility for the missile launch.
