At least 30 Yemeni government troops have been killed following houthi attacks on military camps located in central Yemen, the BBC has reported, citing Gazeta Express. The assault involved missiles and drones striking multiple facilities operated by the Emergency Forces. The targeted areas were identified as al-Ruwaik in Marib province and al-Abr in Hadramawt.
The Yemeni Minister of Health, Qasim Bahibah, condemned the attacks, characterizing them as “unprovoked” and stating that their objective is to undermine regional security and stability. While the initial reports indicated significant casualties, the Minister did not provide a specific figure regarding the deceased. Conversely, a Houthi spokesman, who oversees much of northwestern Yemen and receives support from Iran, asserted that the strikes were directed against “major military reinforcements.”
The incident highlights ongoing instability across the country, with both sides issuing conflicting accounts regarding the nature and justification of the violence.
International observers continue to monitor the situation following the reported military engagements.
