Houthis Attack City in Yemen that UN Says Is at 'Grave Risk' by Rebels' Siege
The strike wounded six others and damaged several buildings as the U.N. warned the Houthi siege is driving civilians toward a humanitarian crisis.
- On Tuesday, Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck a residential area in Taiz, Yemen, killing two teenage girls and wounding six other people in an attack highlighting civilian dangers.
- The Houthi siege has largely encircled Taiz, cutting off supply routes and putting civilians at "grave risk," U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk said Tuesday, as residents face soaring prices and food shortages.
- Separately, a Houthi ballistic missile strike on Monday hit the al-Alam military camp in Shabwa, killing 73 people, the deadliest strike since summer's conflict resurgence, while Governor Awad Ibn al-Wazir stated recruits were training for security.
- Britain announced Tuesday it is expanding military support for Saudi Arabia to include "defensive" air patrols by Royal Air Force jets, with Defense Secretary Wes Streeting saying these will protect Saudi cities from Houthi attacks.
- Yemen's civil war, which began in 2014, has killed more than 150,000 people, while Shabwa, Marib, and Hadramawt form the government's "triangle of power," a strategic area containing the country's oil and gas facilities.
