Seven people, including children, killed in airstrikes on market in Yemen, says report amid Saudi-Houthi conflict
Three military sources within the Yemeni government say that Houthi militants had recently established a military camp near the market.
Seven people, including children, perished and 40 others were injured when airstrikes targeted commercial shops at Taiz Central Market in Yemen, according to reports. The Saudi-backed coalition claimed the market was hit by Houthi forces, who had established a military camp nearby. However, Yemen's internationally recognized government stated they had targeted the Houthi camp and vehicles.
This comes after several air raid alerts in Saudi Arabia, including an attack on Riyadh and another on the southern border area of Khamis Mushait. The conflict escalated after the Houthis seized control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coast and three strategic islands, intensifying the West Asia war.
