A significant explosion rocked Yemen's capital, Sana'a, after a United States airstrike targeted a Houthi weapons storage facility. 

The attack, confirmed by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), aimed to degrade the military capabilities of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. 

The facility reportedly housed missile components used in attacks on civilian and military vessels in the region.

The strike is part of an ongoing campaign to address destabilizing actions by the Houthis, who have been involved in regional conflicts and maritime disruptions. 

While the operation targeted military assets, the explosion's impact on surrounding areas has raised concerns about civilian safety and the broader humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
