The US military has stated that a deadly explosion in Sana'a, Yemen, was caused by a Houthi missile and not an American strike. The explosion resulted in damage and casualties, but the closest US strike was more than three miles away. The military determined that the blast was caused by a Houthi air defense missile based on local reporting and videos of the missile's fragments. The Houthi-run health ministry reported 12 deaths in the explosion near the Old City of Sanaa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
