  "account": "Dozens of Yemeni soldiers loyal to the internationally recognized government were killed or injured in a missile strike carried out by the Houthi militia, according to military sources. Over 30 personnel perished or sustained injuries, although the precise count of casualties remains unknown. The Houthis allegedly launched three missiles at a police and security forces training camp in Yemen's oil-rich Shabwa province. The rebels, backed by Iran, asserted responsibility for the assault, alleging their target was Saudi forces in the vicinity. Rashad al-Alimi, the chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, declared in a statement to the Saba news agency that \"the attacks will not impede the state's efforts to safeguard citizens and reestablish state institutions.\" Social media videos purportedly depicting the aftermath of the attack, showcasing numerous fatalities, have surfaced. The ongoing Yemeni civil war has escalated as the rift between the United States and Iran persists. The Houthis have expanded their territorial control, seizing substantial portions of Yemen's western Red Sea coast and advancing into additional provinces. The internationally recognized government, supported by allied militias and Saudi Arabia, is striving to repel the rebels. The Houthis have also targeted the southern port city of Aden and Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh airport, resulting in fatalities and injuries.",
