Yemen's Houthi group claims ballistic missile attack on Israel

SANAA/JERUSALEM, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi armed forces said on Saturday that they had launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward southern Israel.

This marked the group's first such attack since Israel and the United States started massive attacks on Iran a month ago.

In a statement, the Houthi group said the operation was launched "in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance fronts in Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine."

A few hours ago, the Israel Defense Forces announced that the Israeli air defense systems successfully intercepted a missile fired from Yemen toward Israel.

The launch from Yemen set off air defense sirens in large areas of southern Israel, sending thousands rushing to shelters, with no casualties reported.

On Friday night, Yemen's Houthi group warned it may intervene militarily if regional tensions keep escalating, especially if the Red Sea is used for operations against Iran.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said the group is prepared to respond if additional forces join the U.S. and Israeli forces.

On Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the group, said his group stands ready to take military action if developments in the Middle East conflict warrant it, while reiterating strong ties with Iran. ■

Tehran comes under fresh U.S.-Israeli attacks; power outage reported in some districts

TEHRAN, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Several areas in the Iranian capital Tehran and the neighboring Alborz province came under U.S. and Israeli attacks on Sunday night, which led to blackouts in a number of neighborhoods, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

In Tehran, the strikes targeted five districts of the city and hit some residential units, the report added.

According to Fars, the power outage in parts of Tehran and Alborz was due to the bombs' shrapnel that damaged electricity facilities and installations, including a high-voltage transmission tower in Alborz and a substation in Tehran.

Fars later reported that electricity supply in all affected areas has been resumed and is stable.

On Sunday night, the Israeli military said in a statement that it is striking targets across Tehran.

The developments came amid a U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict starting from Feb. 28, with heavy fighting continuing between the relevant parties and no breakthrough on a ceasefire as it entered its 30th day on Sunday. ■

Sisi urges Trump to end war on Iran, warns oil could top $200

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi today called on US President Donald Trump to bring the US-Israeli war on Iran to an end, saying he alone had the power to do so.

"I tell President Trump: nobody can stop the war in our region in the Gulf but you," Sisi said at the Egypt Energy Show 2026 conference in Cairo. "Please, Mr. President, please. Please help us stop the war. You are capable of doing so," he added.

"I fear that targeting energy facilities, whether production or refineries, will have very serious repercussions for the global economy and fuel prices," he said. Market watchers had warned "the price of a barrel of oil could reach more than $200, and this is not an exaggeration," he said.

"Wealthy countries might be able to absorb this, but for middle-income and fragile economies, it could have a very, very severe impact on their stability."
