Saudi airstrikes on the Yemeni city of Taiz have resulted in dozens of casualties, according to the Iran-aligned Houthis. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, accused Saudi Arabia of conducting two air raids targeting a market on the outskirts of the city. Saree claimed that nearly 50 people were killed or wounded, though he did not provide a specific count of the casualties.
The spokesman condemned the attack as unjust and aggressive, promising that there would be consequences for the strike. Earlier, Al-Masirah TV, a channel controlled by the Houthis, reported that a strike killed seven people and injured 40 others in another market in Taiz. The channel cited the Houthis' health ministry, which stated that five children were among those wounded in the attack.
