Houthi missile attack on Shabwa training camp kills 53 recruits

A Houthi missile strike on a training camp in Yemen’s Shabwa province killed at least 53 security recruits and injured more than 200, according to local authorities. The attack is among the deadliest reported during a recent escalation in the country’s long-running civil war, as fighting intensifies between the Houthis and government forces.

The camp near Ataq was being used to train recruits for internal security and police duties. The Houthis said they targeted forces they described as Saudi personnel, while Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council condemned the strike and vowed a response; hospitals transferred some seriously wounded people to neighbouring provinces.
