Saudi airstrikes in Yemen caused at least ten deaths and 14 injuries in the early hours of Wednesday, September 23, according to the Houthi rebel television channel, Almasirah. The channel reported that the casualties occurred in the provinces of Taiz and Al-Jawf, which have been heavily affected by the ongoing conflict. These areas have seen frequent clashes and airstrikes as part of the broader regional war that has been raging in Yemen for years.
The conflict in Yemen began in 2014 when Houthi rebels, a Shia Muslim group, seized control of the capital, Sanaa, prompting a military intervention led by a Saudi-led coalition. The coalition aims to restore the internationally recognized government and counter the influence of the Houthis, who are supported by Iran. The war has led to one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions of people facing food shortages, disease, and displacement.
In recent days, fighting has continued between Houthi rebels and Yemeni government forces, who are backed by Saudi Arabia. The violence has intensified in several regions, with both sides accusing each other of launching attacks and causing civilian casualties. The situation remains volatile, with no clear end in sight to the conflict.
International efforts to mediate a peace agreement have made limited progress, as both sides remain entrenched in their positions. The ongoing airstrikes and ground fighting have further strained the already fragile humanitarian situation in Yemen, where aid agencies warn that the population is on the brink of a severe crisis.
