Sanaa, Yemen — Massive explosions rocked the Houthi-held capital city of Sanaa on Saturday, leaving residents alarmed and buildings trembling. Witnesses reported hearing powerful blasts that echoed across the city during the early evening hours.
“The explosion was so strong, it shook the windows of our house,” said Ahmed, a local resident. “Everyone in the neighborhood ran outside to see what was happening.”
The source of the explosions remains unclear, with no immediate statements from Houthi officials or the Saudi-led coalition that has been involved in Yemen’s ongoing conflict. The blasts have raised concerns among citizens about a potential escalation in the region’s tensions.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since 2014, when Houthi rebels took control of Sanaa. The conflict has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, affecting millions across the country. Saturday’s explosions have added to the fears of many who hope for peace and stability.
“We just want to live without the constant fear of violence,” added Fatima, another resident. “Our children deserve a safe future.”
International organizations continue to call for a ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. As the situation develops, residents of Sanaa remain on high alert, awaiting further information about the cause of the explosions.
