Houthis say at least 30 killed in strikes on Taiz market; sides trade blame

On Friday, Houthi rebels said an attack on al-Hadara market in al-Waziiya district of Taiz governorate killed at least 30 people, while Yemeni government forces and the Houthis blamed each other for the strikes. Earlier in the week, the Yemeni government dismissed ministers and officers after its counteroffensive, launched on 5 October, stalled with thousands dead on both sides. Taiz remains under a monthlong Houthi siege.

  • The Houthis say at least 30 people died at al-Hadara market; both sides deny responsibility and accuse the other.
  • The government has shaken up its political and military leadership after losing ground to the Houthis in September, and a report describes the offensive as settled into attrition warfare.
  • Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at Medina on Thursday.
  • Turkey's parliament ratified the Mecca defence agreement with Saudi Arabia, which lays groundwork for further Turkish involvement.
