Saudi airstrikes kill 10 in Yemen, Houthi media reports

Saudi-led coalition airstrikes have resulted in at least 10 deaths in Yemen, with Houthi-affiliated media sources reporting the casualties on Tuesday. The strikes targeted areas across Taiz and Al-Jawf governorates, two regions that have seen sustained military operations as part of the ongoing conflict.

According to the reports, a further 14 people sustained injuries from the airstrikes during the same 24-hour period. The exact circumstances and targets of the strikes were not immediately specified in the initial reports.

The airstrikes add to the mounting toll of the conflict in Yemen, which has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions of civilians. Medical facilities and civilian infrastructure across the country have been significantly impacted by the years of fighting between Saudi-led coalition forces and Houthi rebels.

Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners have conducted extensive air operations in Yemen since 2015, citing the need to counter the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands and left the country facing widespread shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies.
