Saudi Arabia is accused of striking a market in Yemen’s Taiz province, killing seven people and injuring dozens, according to Houthi statements. Euronews and Free Malaysia Today report seven deaths and around 40 injuries, while Middle East Eye also cites Houthi-linked reporting of seven killed and 40 wounded.
The attacks are described by the Houthis as two air raids hitting the outskirts of Taiz, an area they control. Middle East Eye specifies that the strikes occur minutes after a fighter jet targeted the area, and it adds that Houthi media, citing the group’s health ministry, says five children were among those wounded. Free Malaysia Today likewise describes the casualties as nearly 50 killed or wounded, without breaking down deaths versus injuries.
Euronews frames the incident within a broader escalation, noting advances by Houthi forces and an intensification of Saudi-led air raids. None of the outlets provide an independent verification of the claims or Saudi Arabia’s response in the provided reports.
