Yemen: Two civilians killed in Houthi strike on Marib, government says
Yemen's Health Minister Qassem Bahaibah says two civilians were killed and 14 injured in a Houthi strike on Marib. He accused the group of targeting residential areas and camps for displaced people.
Yemen's government said at least two civilians were killed and 14 others injured in a Houthi strike on the city of Marib. Health Minister Qassem Bahaibah made the announcement following an initial damage assessment by local authorities.
Bahaibah accused Houthi forces of targeting residential areas and camps sheltering displaced people. Marib, located near the front lines of Yemen's years-long civil conflict, hosts a large number of displaced families.
The strike highlights the continuing toll of Yemen's conflict on the civilian population. Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly stressed that protecting civilians remains an urgent priority given the fragile security situation in the area.
