Wednesday’s attack hit a fuel station and a government facility, according to officials in Yemen.

Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesman for the Houthi-run Health Ministry, and military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed Wednesday’s strikes.

Sanaa residents said the attack was on a hideout between two mountains that was used as a command and control headquarters. The extent of any damage was not immediately clear.
