  "summary": "A Saudi airstrike on a central marketplace in Taiz, southwest Yemen, has killed seven people and wounded 40 more. The strike targeted commercial shops at Taiz Central Market, according to reports from Houthi media and the Yemeni News Agency (Saba).\n\nThe incident occurred amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi militants. The airstrike came a day after Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, was attacked by the Houthis.\n\nThe internationally recognised Yemeni government said its forces had targeted a Houthi military camp and vehicles at the same junction, according to Reuters. However, Houthi media reports focused on the civilian casualties in the marketplace.",
