Houthi health ministry spokesman Anis al-Asbahi told the Houthi-run Saba news agency that the Saudi aircraft targeted the market in Al-Waziya city with multiple strikes.

The Houthi health ministry reported 30 deaths and eight injuries, stating that rescue teams were still searching for bodies under the rubble at the market, which is located in a Houthi-held area of the province. Government forces claimed they had recaptured several areas of Taiz from the Houthis earlier in the week. Taiz province, situated near the Bab al-Mandab strait, serves as a crucial oil shipping route.",
