Airstrikes on Sanaa have brought conflicting accounts of what was hit: the Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed Houthi military facilities, while sources in the Yemeni capital describe damage to fuel infrastructure and residential homes.

Al Araby Television, based in Qatar, presents those accounts in a report from correspondent Khalil al-Qahiri. He describes damage to the Yemen Petroleum Company building and nearby homes in southern Sanaa, then reports extensive destruction at a facility in the northern Jadr neighborhood. Citing local health officials, he says six civilians suffered serious injuries. The broadcast shows explosions, smoke, damaged structures and rescue work amid rubble.

An on-screen headline carries the coalition's account: it says its forces destroyed a factory assembling ballistic-missile components and a Houthi chemical facility in Sanaa. Al-Qahiri says statements from Sanaa categorically reject the military-target explanation and maintain that civilian facilities and homes were struck.

The report places the capital's bombardment within a wider campaign. Al-Qahiri cites 103 coalition raids over 24 hours across provinces including Saada, Marib, Al Jawf, Lahij and Taiz. He also refers to an earlier strike on a village in Bani Hushaysh that he says caused 84 civilian casualties, without separating deaths from injuries.

The Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, are an Iran-backed political and armed movement central to Yemen's civil war. Yemen borders Saudi Arabia, and the broadcast describes threats extending beyond the Yemeni battlefronts: al-Qahiri relays warnings from Sanaa against Saudi airports and air-transport companies. A separate coalition statement on screen says it intercepted two missiles fired toward Riyadh and a drone in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.

The video is titled "أهداف الغارات على صنعاء وحصيلة خسائر الحوثيين في محاور الاشتباكات" ("Targets of the raids on Sanaa and the toll of Houthi losses on the battlefronts"). Government statements on screen claim advances in Al Jawf and the repulsion of attacks elsewhere, but the segment supplies no numerical tally of Houthi battlefield losses.
