Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea announces a new attack on Israel via a televised statement, Yemen, March 28, 2026. /VCG

Yemen's Houthi group said on Saturday that it had carried out fresh attacks on vital sites in southern Israel using cruise missiles and drones, marking its second claimed attack of the day amid escalating regional tensions.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said on social media platform X that the operation was coordinated with Iran and Hezbollah and had "successfully achieved its objectives."

Sarea added that the attacks support what he called the "fronts of resistance" in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran.

"We confirm that our operations will continue in the coming days until the aggression stops," the spokesperson said.

Earlier Saturday, the group claimed a ballistic missile barrage on southern Israel, its first such attack since Israel and the United States started massive attacks on Iran on February 28.

On Thursday, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi reaffirmed the group's readiness for military action should regional developments warrant it, while reiterating strong ties with Iran.
