Airstrikes on a market in southwestern Yemen kill at least 30, Houthis say
- 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.
