The death toll from a Houthi missile strike on a government security forces training camp in Yemen’s Shabwa province rose to 73 on Tuesday, provincial authorities said. Fourteen people remained missing after Monday’s attack, while search efforts continued.
Local authorities had initially reported 53 deaths and more than 200 injuries. The casualties were new members of the internal security forces undergoing training at Al-Alam camp.
Yemeni armed forces spokesperson Majed al-Nuzaili said the Houthis fired three ballistic missiles at the camp. Local authority sources said they struck security forces during a training exercise. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree later claimed responsibility, describing the site as a gathering of Saudi forces and saying it was run by a Saudi officer.
Hospitals in Shabwa were overwhelmed, and some critically injured people were transferred to facilities in other provinces, deputy governor Fahad al-Khalifi said, according to AFP.
Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, ordered authorities to respond firmly to those responsible. The attack occurred amid renewed fighting between the Houthis and Yemen’s internationally recognized government, which is supported by a Saudi-led coalition.
