Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of a strike on a prison in northern Yemen, killing 7, including a child

The Houthis, an Iran-backed rebel group in Yemen, have accused Saudi Arabia of conducting airstrikes and missile strikes across the country, following a deadly offensive aimed at seizing territory bordering the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The attacks targeted provinces such as Jawf, Al-Bayda, Marib, and Taiz, according to Saba news agency, which is aligned with the Houthi movement.

The conflict has resulted in over 300 deaths and the displacement of hundreds of families, as the Houthis continue their push for control over the strategic Red Sea coast region.
