Airstrikes on a market in southwestern Yemen kill at least 30, Houthis say
Houthi and government officials blamed each other as the attack killed at least 30 people and wounded others, according to Houthi officials.
- On Friday, airstrikes struck the Al-Hadara market in Al-Waziyah, Taiz, killing at least 20 people according to Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The incident occurred amid intensified fighting between Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces.
- Controlling the Al-Waziyah district grants dominance over the majority of the western Red Sea coastal line, making it a critical battleground. Daily attacks by the Saudi-led coalition aim to secure this strategic regional control.
- While Houthi officials blamed Saudi-led coalition airstrikes for a "horrific crime," local Taiz authorities denied any strikes occurred. Instead, government-affiliated officials accused the Houthis of striking the market with ballistic missiles.
- Civilians trapped by a 30-day Houthi siege on Taiz city face increased vulnerability following the strike. The United Nations has repeatedly warned of a catastrophe as supplies of food and medicine remain scarce.
- Following the launch of Operation Dawn of Yemen on October 5, daily missile and drone exchanges have intensified. This offensive to reclaim Houthi-held territories has contributed to the volatile environment disrupting civilian safety.
