The Houthi rebels, who have been escalating their campaign this summer, claimed responsibility for the strike. Four Saudis, two Bangladeshis, and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Egypt were among the fatalities. Over 300 individuals sustained injuries, many of them in critical condition. President Donald Trump indicated that the US might join Saudi Arabia in targeting the Houthis, citing the attack as unacceptable. The Saudi-led coalition described the attack as a \"full-fledged war crime.\" Hospitals were overwhelmed with the influx of wounded, some requiring emergency treatment.

The Houthi group has repeatedly targeted Saudi airports, oil facilities, and tankers since the Yemen conflict's truce broke down in July.",
