  The explosions took place in the Nassefa area of the Al-Zahir district, involving four gas stations and a gas storage container located in a popular market. The explosion occurred after a stray bullet from Houthis shooting at a car struck a nearby gas station. At the time of the explosions, the market was reportedly crowded with people, vendors, and vehicles. The explosions triggered an extensive fire that produced massive smoke columns visible from considerable distances. The blast destroyed numerous vehicles in the vicinity. At least 40 people were killed in the explosion. Among the 74 people injured in the incident, 50 sustained critical injuries. Rescue teams conducted searches for missing individuals.
