Video: Yemen Market Attacked, Conflicting Accounts from Yemeni Government and Houthi Forces
According to the Yemeni government on the 6th, the local government of Taiz province in southwestern Yemen issued a statement strongly condemning the attack on a market in the province that day, and accused the Houthi armed forces of being responsible for this serious incident. The Yemeni government also denied the Houthi armed forces' claim that Saudi Arabian aircraft attacked the market.
The Houthi armed forces earlier reported that the market was hit by three airstrikes from Saudi aircraft, resulting in over 30 casualties.
The Yemeni government stated that no aircraft conducted any airstrikes in the area where the market is located that day. The incident occurred due to a failed ballistic missile attack by the Houthi armed forces.
A Yemeni government official stated that the attack occurred at the Hadara market in the Waziye area of Taiz province, where hundreds of people were present at the time. The attack resulted in at least 28 civilian deaths and dozens of injuries, with many in critical condition, and the death toll may rise further.
Recently, the intensity of mutual attacks between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi armed forces has increased. Meanwhile, clashes between the Houthi armed forces and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have also intensified on multiple fronts.
