  "account": "SANAA: Houthi authorities reported on Sunday that Saudi strikes resulted in 33 deaths in Yemen's Sanaa province, many of whom were women and children, as fatalities continue to rise amid the country's renewed civil war. The United Nations currently records over 1,600 fatalities and over 300,000 displaced individuals since hostilities resumed in the impoverished nation. The death toll from Saudi-led coalition strikes on Al-Shariya village, situated east of Yemen's capital Sanaa, has reached 33, with 39 wounded, according to Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi on X. Houthi news agency Saba stated on Saturday that efforts to retrieve victims from the wreckage were ongoing, and that aircraft targeted paramedics with two strikes. Out of the deceased, 12 were men, 8 women, and 13 children, while 16 men, 10 women, and 13 children were among the injured, Alasbahi disclosed. Al-Masirah TV, affiliated with the Iran-backed group, aired footage purportedly filmed in Al-Shariya, displaying smoke emanating from a targeted site, debris heaps, and wounded individuals receiving medical care. Saudi Arabia, waging war in Yemen to support the internationally recognized government, has not commented on the report. The Saudi-led coalition declared on Saturday that it had intercepted and dismantled a Houthi missile headed towards Riyadh province. Meanwhile, the Houthis claimed to have launched multiple missile and drone assaults on Saudi troops and facilities in both the Gulf kingdom and Yemen, including six targeted operations against Aramco oil facilities, Riyadh airport, and Saudi military positions on both sides of the border, as reported by their military spokesman Yahya Saree on X. On Friday, an attack on a market in Taiz province claimed 30 lives, with the Houthis attributing it to Saudi airstrikes and Yemen's government forces blaming the Iran-backed group for firing a ballistic missile at the location. Yemen's civil war reignited in July after years of relative peace, sparking a new front in the Middle Eastern conflict. Since then, Saudi Arabia has persistently bombed Houthi strongholds, while the group has intensified its strikes against the oil-rich kingdom.",
