Fighting intensified across Yemen on Sunday as Houthi media reported that an alleged Saudi airstrike on a home in northern Saada governorate killed at least nine people and wounded 16, most of them women and children. The Houthi-run Saba news agency said the toll could rise.
The reported raid followed several attacks across Yemen and Saudi Arabia. At least five security personnel were killed and 16 people injured on Thursday when Houthi missiles struck near the presidential palace in Aden, according to Yemen’s Health Ministry. Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani was at the palace but was unharmed. A government official said the internationally recognised administration would continue operating from Aden.
The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a drone headed toward Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province on Friday, a day after intercepting a cruise missile over the Madinah region. The Houthis denied carrying out attacks on Saudi territory that day. Yemen’s government also said Houthi missiles targeted Marib, where government forces and allied fighters are conducting an offensive.
Around Taiz, the Houthis have reported new territorial gains, while a Yemeni government spokesman said a senior Houthi commander was killed near Mount Han. The renewed war, which escalated in July after years of relative calm, has disrupted key roads and supply routes as government forces pursue an operation aimed at retaking Houthi-held territory, including Sanaa.
