Summary

A airstrike hit a market area in Taiz, southwest Yemen, killing seven people and injuring 40, according to Houthi-run health officials; children are reported among the wounded. The Houthis say Saudi Arabia carried out the strike, including air raids by F-15 jets, and have vowed a response. Yemen's internationally recognized government denies responsibility and says its air force targeted a Houthi camp, vehicles and supply depot at the same location. The reports do not agree on who carried out the strike or what it targeted, and the Houthi claims cannot be independently verified. Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the strike and called for an end to the blockade and foreign interference. The incident comes amid escalating fighting since July, with Taiz a main front in Yemen's civil war.
