  "account": "At least 30 Yemeni government troops were killed in Houthi rebel attacks on military camps in central Yemen, according to the country's defence ministry. The attacks, which occurred on Thursday at 10:40 local time, involved ballistic missiles and drones targeting several camps in the provinces of Marib and Hadramawt. The ministry denounced the strikes as \"treacherous\" and vowed to respond to the aggression at an appropriate time and place. The Houthis, who control much of northwestern Yemen and are backed by Iran, claimed they targeted large Saudi military build-ups preparing for an offensive. Meanwhile, a Saudi-led coalition reported that 11 civilians were wounded in a Houthi strike in the Saudi Arabian border region of Najran, including seven Saudi nationals and a four-year-old child with second-degree burns. The coalition described the wounded as examples of Houthi terrorism against the Yemeni people.",
