Israeli military bombs power plant near Yemeni capital Sanaa
- Israeli forces struck the Haziz power station near Sanaa, Yemen, on August 17, 2025, damaging generators and causing a fire that was contained.

- The Israeli military said the strike targeted energy infrastructure used by Iran-backed Houthis and was carried out by naval missile boats.
- Al Masirah TV reported the power plant was hit by an "aggression," knocking some generators offline, while no casualties were reported following the strike.
- The strike reflects ongoing conflict dynamics as Israel continues operations against the Houthis amid a May ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Houthis that excludes Israel.
