  "account": "Airstrikes in southwestern Yemen struck a market on Friday, resulting in at least 20 deaths, according to an official from Iran-backed Houthi rebels. This incident is one of the deadliest since the resumption of fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces. The health ministry spokesperson for the Houthis, Anees Alsabahi, reported 15 wounded in the attacks, which he attributed to the Saudi-led coalition. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree made similar claims, stating that three airstrikes hit the al-Hadara market around 7 a.m., killing dozens of civilians. However, the Associated Press could not independently verify these claims, and Saudi Arabia's information ministry did not respond to requests for comment. The incident occurred in al-Waziyah, in the province of Taiz, a region where markets typically see a large influx of shoppers on Fridays. Taiz province's government media office acknowledged the attack, claiming casualties, but did not provide details. The authorities in Taiz blamed the Houthis for the incident and stated that no airstrikes were carried out in the area. In September, the Houthis carried out a similar attack, killing at least 75 soldiers and wounding around 200 recruits at a military camp in the southern province of Shabwa.",
