Houthis Say Saudi Airstrike Killed Seven in Taiz as Yemen Government Reports Iranian Experts Killed

Yemen’s Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, said seven people were killed and 40 others wounded in what it described as a Saudi airstrike on a market in central Taiz.

The casualty figures and attribution of the strike came from media affiliated with the group. The account was not independently verified in the information provided.

The reported strike came amid escalating fighting between the Houthis and forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

Separately, the government announced that Iranian experts had been killed. No details were provided about their number or the circumstances of their deaths, and no connection was established between that announcement and the reported market strike.
