Yemen’s Houthis accuse Saudi Arabia of carrying out airstrikes and missile strikes across Yemen, including an attack on a prison in Al-Hazm in the north. Houthi-affiliated media say the bombardment kills seven people, including one child visiting the facility.
The reports come as the Houthis press an offensive to seize territory near the Bab el-Mandab Strait. Yemen is divided between areas controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis and areas held by the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government. Houthi sources describe strikes as targeting Houthi positions across the Arabian Peninsula country.
Across outlets, the main points align: the allegation that Saudi forces carried out the strikes, the location (Al-Hazm prison), and the stated death toll of seven. Al Jazeera also notes that Houthi-run media releases footage showing damage, while other sources focus more directly on the casualty figure and the reported targets.
