Houthi rebels strike a government military camp in southern Yemen, killing at least 53 fighters

Breaking News: Houthi Missile Attack Claims Dozens of Yemeni Soldiers in Shabwa

A deadly missile strike hit a Yemeni military training camp in the southern province of Shabwa on Monday, killing at least 53 government soldiers and wounding more than 200. The attack was blamed on Iranian‑backed Houthi rebels, who have intensified their campaign against Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

The explosion ripped through the camp’s barracks and training fields, leaving a scene of devastation that local officials described as “one of the bloodiest assaults in recent months.” Rescue teams rushed in, but the sheer number of casualties overwhelmed medical facilities already strained by years of conflict. The Houthi group, which controls large swaths of Yemen’s north, has repeatedly used missile and drone strikes to target military sites, a tactic that has drawn condemnation from the United Nations and humanitarian groups.
