Houthi representatives condemned the operation, stating that the bombardment caused widespread damage. Details regarding the full extent of the injuries and destruction remain limited as local teams assess the impact on the ground.
Coalition Has Not Issued a Response
Saudi Arabia, which leads the military coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen, has not yet commented on the reports. Coalition officials have neither confirmed nor denied conducting military operations in the area at the time of the alleged strike.
The Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen’s civil war to back the internationally recognized government against the Houthi movement. Throughout the conflict, air operations and armed clashes have repeatedly led to significant casualties and heightened regional friction.
Regional Conflict Continues
The latest claims arrive amid sustained volatility across Yemen, where fighting between opposing factions has produced severe humanitarian consequences for the civilian population.
As diplomatic efforts to establish a lasting ceasefire face ongoing challenges, both sides remain on high alert. Observers continue to watch for an official statement from Riyadh or coalition commanders regarding the incident.
