  "account": "Saudi airstrikes on Taiz in southwest Yemen resulted in dozens of casualties, the Iran-aligned Houthi group reported on Sunday, as tensions escalated following a truce breakdown. According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree, two air raids by Saudi Arabia struck a market on the outskirts of the city, killing or wounding nearly 50 people. The spokesman denounced the attack, stating that blood was spilled unjustly and aggressively, and vowed consequences for the assault. Earlier, Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV channel claimed a strike on a market in Taiz killed seven people and wounded 40 more. The channel later cited the Houthis' health ministry, mentioning that five children were among the wounded. Multiple Houthi sources later informed AFP that around 30 fighters from the group were killed in the series of strikes, while eight civilians perished. The city remains under government control but has been besieged by Houthi fighters and is one of the main battlegrounds in Yemen's civil war.",
