[Regnum] At least five people were killed in a US Air Force attack on a ceramics factory in Yemen's Sana'a province. This was reported on April 13 by the government's Ministry of Health in the territory controlled by the Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement.

"Preliminary, five people were killed as a result of US strikes on the As-Suwari plant in the Matna area of ​​Bani Matara," the Yemeni rebel-owned Al Masirah TV channel quoted the department as saying.

In addition, 13 people were injured in the US attack.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on April 4, the Houthis launched another attack on the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman and other US Navy ships in the Red Sea. Later, on April 6, the Ansar Allah movement again attacked the Harry Truman and its escort ships. On the same day, the American television channel CNN, citing sources, announced the preparation of a ground operation against the Houthis in Yemen, which could be supported by Saudi Arabia and the US.

Houthis launch massive attack on airport and military base in Israel
[Regnum] The Shiite military-political movement Ansar Allah, which governs northern Yemen, reported a massive attack on Israel on April 13. In particular, Ben Gurion Airport and the Sdot Miha military base, located east of Ashdod, came under fire. This was reported by the Al Masirah TV channel.
Came under fire or was fired in the general direction of, but never even came close?
"The Palestine-2 hypersonic missile was aimed at the Sdot Micha base east of Ashdod. The Zulfikar missile was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport," the Houthis said in a statement.
No doubt.
Activists said the air force carried out an operation to strike an important Israeli enemy target in the occupied Ashkelon area using a drone.

As reported by Regnum news agency, on April 6, the Houthis attacked the American aircraft carrier Harry Truman and its escort ships in the northern part of the Red Sea.

On April 3, the Ansar Allah movement also announced a strike on a US Navy carrier group in the Red Sea led by Harry Truman. It was specified that the Yemeni movement's fighters used cruise missiles and drones for the strike.

On March 22, a US air strike on Hodeidah International Airport in western Yemen wounded Houthi naval commander Mansour al-Saadi. It was reported that at least seven other members of the movement were also injured.
The Times of Israel adds:
The Houthis claim they fired two missiles in the attack, one targeting the Sdot Micha Airbase — where according to foreign reports Israel holds nuclear-capable Jericho missiles — and the other aimed at Ben Gurion Airport.

The IDF reported that only one missile reached Israel, and it was successfully intercepted by air defenses. The second likely fell short, similar to numerous other recent Houthi attacks.

The Houthis further claim to have targeted a “vital Israeli enemy target” in the Ashkelon area with a drone. There have been no reports of drones reaching Israel from Yemen in the past day.
