Houthis say 11 killed in Saudi strikes on Yemen’s Sanaa province

In Yemen, the Houthis reported that Saudi strikes killed 11 people, including women and children, in the Sanaa province on Saturday. The news agency Saba said the victims were in the Al-Shariyah area, and 20 others were wounded. The group stated that operations to recover the bodies from the debris were ongoing, and that Saudi aircraft had targeted paramedics in two strikes.

However, Saudi authorities have not commented on the report. Earlier this week, an attack on a market in Taiz province resulted in the deaths of 30 people. The Houthis blamed Saudi airstrikes, while Yemen's government forces accused the Iran-backed group of firing a ballistic missile at the site. Since July, Yemen has once again descended into civil war between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government, marking a new front in the Middle Eastern conflict.

Since then, Saudi Arabia has been regularly bombing Houthi positions, while the Houthi group has intensified its attacks against the oil-rich kingdom.
