The Houthis also claimed responsibility for the ballistic missile attack on Yemen military’s Al-Alam camp, that killed at least 53 and left hundreds wounded.
The group said it had carried out operations on several “mobilisation gatherings” of the Saudi-led coalition and claimed responsibility for an attack on Al-Alam military camp that killed over 50 Yemeni fighters. “Our armed forces carried out a targeting operation against six enemy Saudi mobilisation gatherings in the Al-Suqya and Ras al-Aarah areas using six ballistic missiles,” Houthi spokesperson brigadier general Yahya Saree said in a post on X. “Our armed forces targeted the Saudi enemy’s mobilizations in the Al-Alam Camp, which is run by Saudi officers in the eastern regions,” Saree said in a separate post. “The targeting resulted in the fall of dozens of dead and wounded from the Saudi enemy’s mobilizations, including Saudi officers,” he added. the Houthi spokesperson, warned Yemenis against joining coalition forces, accusing Saudi Arabia of using financial incentives to recruit them and expose them to danger in place of Saudi soldiers. “We warn the deceived ones against responding to the Saudi enemy’s calls to lure them with his defiled money to the pyres of death, and to exploit them instead of his soldiers who are indifferent to their lives,” Saree said. Meanwhile, Yemeni government forces said they had targeted Houthi positions and weapons caches in al-Dhabab, west of Taiz city.
He added that the strikes resulted in dozens of casualties. Several vehicles were also destroyed. Houthi forces have been attempting to encircle Taiz city, a government stronghold where the UN has warned that food supplies are running low. The developments come amid reports of intense fighting along Yemen’s western coast as forces battle for control of the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait. You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient.
