Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And we're going to begin today in Yemen,
where there have been a series of Israeli airstrikes on the capital Sana'a,
the stronghold of the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
Witnesses reported a huge fireball over the city.
The raids were in retaliation for a number of attacks by the Houthis on Friday,
including one directed at Israel's main international airport.
It's because of Israel's offensive in Gaza.
There was no significant damage,
but the Israeli military said they'd found evidence for the first time that one of the warheads used was carrying a cluster bomb.
The Houthis say that Israel's attacks today killed two people and injured 35 others.
We have been trying to contact people in Sana'a to tell us what happened,
but communications are tricky and people are also fearful of speaking to Western media.
However, we did manage to talk to the journalist Nazir Mohammed,
who's based in the city of Aden on Yemen's southern coast, an area not under Houthi control.
He sent us this voice note, which we've translated and then voiced.
There were heavy Israeli air raids that targeted the capital Sana'a this evening.
These raids hit the zone of the Republican Palace in the Sab'in district.
