## Summary

An attack on a market in Al-Waziya, Taiz province, killed 30 people and wounded eight, according to the Houthi health ministry. The Houthis and Yemen’s internationally recognised government blamed each other, leaving responsibility disputed.

The Houthis said Saudi aircraft carried out several strikes and claimed the planes had taken off from Khamis Mushait air base in Saudi Arabia. Local Taiz authorities denied that air strikes occurred and blamed Houthi missile fire; the government called the attack a “war crime”. The market is in a Houthi-held area of Taiz, near the Bab al-Mandab shipping route, and government forces said they had recaptured several areas in the province.
