Houthi media report 33 killed in Saudi strikes east of Sanaa
Houthi-linked media say Saudi air strikes killed at least 33 people, including women and children, in al-Shariyah, east of Sanaa. The Saudi-led coalition has not commented, and the reported deaths have not been independently confirmed. The strike comes amid a renewed escalation in Yemen’s long-running war, raising concern about further civilian casualties and displacement.
The Houthi-run Saba news agency said 39 people were injured in Saturday’s attack; footage on Houthi television showed rescuers recovering bodies and taking injured people to hospital. Fighting reignited after a fragile truce began to unravel amid the Iran war, with the Houthis targeting Saudi airports and ships, and Saudi Arabia striking Houthi positions. The UN says renewed fighting has killed more than 1,600 people and displaced over 300,000; a separate market attack in Taiz province reportedly killed 30 on Friday, with both sides blaming each other.
In short
- Houthi-linked media report at least 33 killed in a Saudi strike.
- The reported toll includes women and children.
- The UN says renewed fighting has displaced more than 300,000 people.
