Houthi rebels strike a government military camp in southern Yemen, killing at least 20 fighters
The attack hit recruits during morning training and wounded about two dozen more, officials said, as fighting intensifies after a 2022 truce collapsed.
- Iran-Backed Houthi rebels attacked the al-Alam military camp in Yemen’s southern Shabwa province on Monday, killing at least 20 government soldiers, according to Yemeni military officials.
- The attackers launched ballistic missiles at the camp, leaving at least two dozen troops wounded, officials from Yemen’s internationally recognised government reported.
- The strike was among the deadliest incidents in a recent escalation of fighting between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Yemen’s Saudi-backed government.
- The renewed violence has undermined the 2022 ceasefire that had largely halted fighting in Yemen’s prolonged civil war, amid rising tensions linked to the wider Iran-US conflict.
- The attack followed reported Saudi-led airstrikes in the Houthi-controlled northern province of Saada on Sunday, which the Houthi-run Health Ministry said killed at least nine people, including five children and two women.
