Houthis Report Seven Killed in Taiz Market Strike as Yemen Government Says Iranian Experts Died

Seven people were killed and 40 others wounded in what Houthi-affiliated media described as a Saudi airstrike on a market in central Taiz, Yemen.

The reported strike came amid escalating fighting between the Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, and Yemeni government forces.

The attribution of the strike to Saudi Arabia and the casualty figures were based on the Houthi account. No independent confirmation was available in the information provided.

Separately, Yemen’s internationally recognized government announced that Iranian experts had been killed. It gave no names or death toll in the available account.

It was not clear whether the government’s announcement referred to the reported market strike or to a separate incident.
