Houthi militias utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Thursday, February 12, 2026, to strike road construction equipment in the Taiz Governorate of central Yemen, effectively halting a critical infrastructure project.

A local source informed the Khabar News Agency that the Houthi targeting operation specifically struck a road-building machine operating in the Najd Shari' area of the Same' district, located south of Taiz city.

The source confirmed that the drone strike occurred while the machinery was actively engaged in opening a vital roadway intended to serve thousands of local residents. This hostile action resulted in the immediate suspension of the essential infrastructure development.
