"The recent event explicitly reports Saudi-led coalition strikes on Houthi ballistic missile launchers in Sana'a. The new event reports explosions in Sana'a. Given the location match and the nature of the recent event (airstrikes), it is highly probable that the explosions are the direct result or immediate aftermath of these specific strikes."
