Shabwah missile attack kills and injures hundreds
The article discusses the deadly missile attack targeting the "Al-‘Alam" camp in Shabwah, southeastern Yemen, which resulted in the death of 53 recruits and injuries to over 200 others during a training gathering. The attack is believed to have been carried out using three ballistic missiles by the Houthi movement, which claimed responsibility for the operation, asserting that it targeted Saudi forces inside the camp. This escalation occurs within a wave of violence ongoing since early September, marked by intensified military clashes in the fronts of Ma'rib, Taiz, and the western coast. The Houthis have also launched attacks on vital facilities in Saudi Arabia, including oil companies and military bases, since the beginning of the current wave, which has seen over 2,700 airstrikes. This escalation has led to a rise in internally displaced persons, totaling approximately 228,000 since June, as well as an increase in civilian casualties—141 killed and 396 injured since September. Yemeni officials are urging the international community to take decisive measures, including designating the Houthis as a terrorist organization, to halt the continuing violence and human rights violations against civilians.
