Yahya Saree stated the attack was a response to Saudi aerial violations in Saada and Hajjah provinces. While the rebels claimed the strike was accurate, Saudi authorities have not provided immediate confirmation of damage or casualties. The strike follows the Houthis' recent announcement of a maritime blockade against Saudi-linked shipping in the Red Sea.
