STORY: Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday (August 24) in retaliation for Houthi missiles fired towards Israel, with Houthi media saying the attack killed at least two people and injured five.

Video footage uploaded to social media showed multiple blasts occurring in Sanaa with thick plumes of black smoke rising.

Reuters was able to confirm the location from the structure of the surrounding buildings, rooftop designs, road layout and a sports field which matched satellite imagery of the area. The date was not independently verified however, the Israeli Army confirmed strikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Sunday.

The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site. The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency said the strikes killed at least two people and injured five.

The strikes are the latest in over a year of direct attacks and counterstrikes between Israel and Houthi militants in Yemen, part of a spillover from the war in Gaza.
