These pictures of the attack on the market in Yemen are viral on social media.
Seven people have died in an airstrike in Yemen on Sunday. According to the Houthi Health Ministry, these also include children. Also, 40 people have been injured.
Shops in a market in Taiz province were targeted in the attack. According to Reuters, Yemen’s government said that its army carried out these attacks targeting Houthi military camps and vehicles.
Reuters quoted Yemeni government sources as saying that Houthi rebels had recently built a military camp near the market.
According to the UN, more than 700 people, including civilians, have been killed in the Yemen conflict which has intensified again in the last two months.

War has been going on in Yemen since 2014
Civil war has been going on in Yemen since 2014. On one side are Houthi fighters and on the other side are forces fighting in support of the Yemeni government. Saudi Arabia also supports the government of Yemen.
In 2022, there was a ceasefire between the two sides due to the efforts of the UN. But in the last few months this ceasefire broke. After this, missiles, drones and air strikes started happening again.
Yemen has the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Many ships pass through the Red Sea from here. Therefore, the increase in fighting here may also affect the business and movement of ships of other countries.
Yemen’s army claims – Houthis fired two drones on Saudi
Yemen’s government military said Saturday that Houthi rebels had fired two drones at the Saudi capital Riyadh. But their air defense system stopped both the drones.
According to the army, apart from this, the Houthis also fired a ballistic missile targeting Khamis Mushait, the southern border area of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia’s civil defense officials said warnings of possible danger were also issued in Abha and Jizan overnight.
Why did Houthi attacks on Saudi increase?
The fighting is between Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Saudi Arabia-backed internationally recognized government of Yemen.
The Houthis have claimed to have carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh and energy-related facilities. In response, Saudi Arabia has attacked Houthi positions inside Yemen.
According to the British government, since July the Houthis have targeted several cities, airports, military bases and energy-related infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
These include Abha, Jizan, Najran, Taif, Jeddah and Yanbu. Saudi ships have also been targeted in the Red Sea.

Houthis rapidly captured important islands
Yemen’s Houthis have seized areas near the Bab al-Mandab Strait this month as they advanced toward the Red Sea coast.
This strait connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Therefore, the fighting in this area may also affect the sea routes.
After this advance of Houthis, Saudi Arabia has carried out hundreds of air strikes in the coastal areas. The Houthis, on the other hand, have claimed hundreds of drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia’s cities and infrastructure.
