NewzYemen's Houthi rebels stated that Saudi airstrikes killed one person and targeted telecom towers. This incident occurs amid an escalation of fighting in Yemen as the Houthis expand their control around the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait, having recently seized areas from Saudi-backed government forces.
In addition to the reported casualties and strikes on infrastructure, the Houthi rebels released footage claiming to show the wreckage of a downed Saudi F-15 fighter jet. If confirmed, this would mark the first time the group has shot down a fighter jet during the conflict.
The ongoing military escalation and territorial shifts have prompted the United Nations to urge restraint as hostilities intensify around the strategic coastal areas overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
