Airstrikes on Yemen Market Kill at Least 20 Amid Conflicting Responsibility Claims
Airstrikes struck a market in al-Waziyah, Taiz province, Yemen, killing at least 20 people and injuring 15, according to Houthi officials. The Houthis blamed the Saudi-led coalition for the attack, while local authorities denied any airstrikes occurred and accused the Houthis of responsibility. The incident is among the deadliest since renewed fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-supported government forces. Independent verification of the claims was not immediately available.
