Summary

The Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile strike on a government military training camp at al-Alam in Shabwa province, southern Yemen. According to reports, 58 people died and more than 200 were injured in the attack. The victims were new recruits, aged between 18 and 20, undergoing security training. Fourteen people remain missing. The Houthis stated the facility was operated by Saudi military personnel. The attack occurred during a training drill and is described as the deadliest strike in months, part of an escalation in Yemen's ongoing conflict between Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-supported, internationally recognized government. Bloodied bodies were scattered across the ground at the scene, and search and follow-up efforts are ongoing to determine the fate of the missing individuals.
