Deadly Airstrikes Near Yemen’s Capital Kill at Least 33, Deepening Regional Crisis
At least 33 people were killed and 39 injured in airstrikes on the village of Bani Hushaysh, east of Yemen’s capital Sanaa, on November 7, according to the Houthi-run health ministry and state news agency Saba. The Houthis blamed Saudi Arabia for the strikes, saying residential homes were hit and that many victims were women and children. Reuters said it could not independently verify the claims, while Saudi Arabia’s Center for International Communication stated that it was investigating the incident. The reported attack marks a serious escalation in the renewed Saudi-Houthi conflict, which has intensified since July following the collapse of a largely effective UN-brokered truce. Continued fighting threatens regional security, risks further disruption to shipping and energy routes, and could worsen Yemen’s already severe humanitarian emergency.
