A Houthi missile attack on a security training camp in Yemen's Shabwa province has killed approximately 50 recruits, according to statements from local authorities in the government-held region. Three missiles struck the facility, which was being used to train newly enlisted security forces. The strike marks the latest in a series of attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi movement against military installations in government-controlled areas of Yemen. Shabwa province, located in eastern Yemen, remains under the control of the Saudi-backed government coalition but has seen repeated attacks from Houthi forces in recent months. The group has conducted numerous drone and missile strikes across Yemen as part of its ongoing conflict with the government and coalition forces. The exact circumstances surrounding the attack and the full extent of casualties could not be independently verified. Yemen has been wracked by civil war since 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, triggering a military intervention by a Saudi-led coalition in 2015.
