A severe blast broke out yesterday evening at a gas station located near the al-Khurafi military facility in the northeast of Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. Houses in the vicinity were evacuated due to the fire that broke out after the explosion. Houthi forces closed the entrances, and civil defense teams were dispatched to the scene to extinguish the fire. The explosion broke out on a gas tank due to a fire triggered by a short circuit at the fuel station, according to the Houthis. No casualties or injuries were reported.
Egyptian media reports that ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel in Gaza, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, are set to resume next week. Israel is awaiting Hamas’s response to the ceasefire offer.
Israeli and US delegations, who were in Doha for negotiations, have returned home for consultations. The current agreement being discussed includes the exchange of hostages and prisoners, with plans for further talks on a permanent ceasefire and the release of additional hostages.
