Multiple people reportedly injured in Saudi strikes on Yemen’s Taiz
Multiple people were reportedly hurt when Saudi airstrikes struck the Khadir district of Yemen’s Taiz governorate on Tuesday, according to Houthi-run media, as fighting between the Iran-aligned group and Saudi-backed forces resumed.
The reports did not immediately say how many people were injured or provide details on the severity of the injuries.
The latest reported strikes are part of a wider escalation in Yemen. The Houthis have taken important territory along the Red Sea coast, including islands near the Bab el-Mandeb shipping route, and thousands of civilians have been displaced by the fighting renewed. While Houthi media have reported Saudi-backed airstrikes in several areas around Yemen.
