  "account": "Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, on Saturday resulted in multiple civilian casualties, according to media affiliated with the Iranian-aligned Houthi militia. At least 22 people, primarily children and women, were reported killed after Saudi jets targeted houses in the Bani Hushaysh district, which is under Houthi control. The death toll later increased to 25, according to the Houthi-controlled Ministry of Health. Thirty others sustained injuries from the bombardment, as reported by local hospital officials. The Houthi-controlled news agency Saba also confirmed renewed Saudi strikes against houses and paramedics in the same district, although no casualty figures were provided. No statement was issued by the Saudi-led coalition, which has been engaged in a conflict with the Houthi rebels in Yemen for over a decade. Yemen's internationally recognized government is supported by Saudi Arabia. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has recently escalated, coinciding with a broader war involving the United States and Iran. Yemeni government forces, backed by allied popular resistance, successfully repelled a Houthi assault on the al-Aqroud front in the contested Taiz province in the southwestern part of the country, according to pro-government media reports on Saturday. Earlier in the day, the Saudi-led coalition announced the interception of a cruise missile launched by the Houthis towards the Saudi capital, Riyadh.",
  "summary": "Houthi-run media reported that Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen’s Sanaa province killed at least 27 people, many of whom were women and children. According to Middle East Eye, the Houthi-run health ministry stated that 36 people were wounded during the strikes on the village of Al-Shariya, noting that warplanes struck paramedics twice and rescuers were still recovering victims from rubble. Qatar Tribune also reported that the airstrikes in the capital resulted in several civilian deaths.\n\nThe Houthis reported carrying out six missile and drone operations against Saudi targets, including Riyadh airport, Aramco oil facilities, and military positions. The Saudi-led coalition stated it intercepted and destroyed a Houthi missile directed at Riyadh province. In a separate incident, Middle East Eye reported that an attack on a market in Taiz province on Friday killed 30 people; the Houthis blamed Saudi airstrikes, while government forces accused the group of using a ballistic missile.\n\nYemen's government announced it struck 875 Houthi sites and gatherings as part of \"Operation Dawn of Yemen,\" an offensive intended to retake territory including Sanaa. Additionally, the Jerusalem Post reported that Interior Minister Ibrahim Haidan accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah of deploying 21 military experts to aid the Houthis. The ministry alleged these operatives, including 14 IRGC members and seven Hezbollah members, are working across six governorates to assist with planning military operations, developing weapons, and coordinating maritime attacks.",
