We\u2019ve verified footage showing the aftermath of an Israeli strike yesterday on the Haziz power plant in Yemen\u2019s capital, Sanaa. <\/p>\n

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on X it had targeted \u201cenergy infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist regime\u201d in response to the group continuing to fire missiles towards Israel. <\/p>\n

The Houthis have previously said they will not halt such attacks until the war in Gaza ends.<\/p>\n

The video shows the remains of a large structure destroyed at the site and firefighters spraying water over the debris. <\/p>\n

According to local reports, the strike hit the plant\u2019s central generators with the resulting fire spreading across the site.<\/p>\n

We verified the footage by matching the distinctive electricity pylons on the site to those seen on Google Earth. <\/p>\n

Damage from earlier strikes is also visible on Google\u2019s satellite imagery from June. <\/p>\n

New low-resolution satellite pictures also appear to show the results of yesterday\u2019s strike.<\/p>\n

Three previous strikes have been reported at this facility in December and January. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Footage shows aftermath of Israeli strike on Yemen power plantpublished at 11:35 British Summer Time 11:35 BST Sebastian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-354074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115049575643717896","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
