VIDEO: Houthi ballistic missile lands near Al Arabiya correspondent during report from Bab al-Mandab
Dramatic footage shows the moment a Houthi ballistic missile struck near an Al Arabiya correspondent as he prepared to go on air from the Bab al-Mandab area in Yemen.
Correspondent Mohammed Al-Ashqar was positioned close to Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces when the missile landed nearby, sending a blast through the area.
The incident came as the Houthis launched two ballistic missiles toward the Dhubab area near the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait, according to regional reports.
No casualties were immediately reported from the missile strikes.
The attack followed major advances by Yemeni government-aligned forces around Dhubab and Bab al-Mandab, where fighting with the Houthis has intensified.
The Bab al-Mandab Strait is one of the world’s most important maritime routes, connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
The video captures the missile strike occurring just as the Al Arabiya journalist was preparing for a live report from the frontline area.
