Houthi Missile Strike Kills 53 at Yemeni Training Camp, Worst Loss Since War Reignited
At least 53 people were killed and over 200 injured when Houthi forces launched three ballistic missiles at the al-Alam training camp in Shabwa, Yemen, on Monday. This is the deadliest single incident since hostilities resumed in September. The strike targeted new recruits during a training exercise, prompting Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi to call for the UN to designate the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. Houthi spokespersons claimed the target was a 'Saudi-backed' base, while government officials emphasized it was a civilian training center far from active frontlines.
