Dozens killed as humanitarian crisis mounts in Yemen: What next for war?
Government forces reclaim key territories in Taiz and Lahij but face setbacks under Houthi resistance in certain areas.
Saudi airstrikes in Yemen's Sanaa province have claimed the lives of 11 individuals, including women and children, according to Houthi sources. The attacks, which targeted homes in the Al-Shariyah area, resulted in 20 people being injured, the Saba news agency reported. Rescuers are currently working to recover the victims from the debris, with Saudi aircraft also targeting paramedics in two separate strikes.
No response has been issued by the Saudi authorities regarding the incident. On a separate incident, a market in Taiz province experienced a bombing on Friday, leaving 30 fatalities. The Houthis attribute these attacks to those carried out by Saudi airstrikes, while Yemen's government forces blame the Iran-backed Houthi group for a ballistic missile strike on the targeted location.
The return of civil war in Yemen, after years of relative peace, has reignited conflict in the Middle East. Since then, Saudi Arabia has continued to bomb Houthi positions, while the Houthi group has escalated attacks against the oil-rich kingdom.
