Missile Attack on Yemen Military Camp Leaves Dozens Dead

A ballistic missile strike hit the al-Alam military camp located in the Shabwa province of southern Yemen. The offensive took place on Monday during a training exercise for new government recruits.

Local officials and medical sources confirmed that at least 18 people were killed. The total number of casualties, including the wounded, exceeds 40 individuals according to the region's deputy governor.

A spokesperson for the Yemeni government forces stated that the Houthi group fired three missiles at the site. The country's civil conflict has seen a recent escalation following the loss of strategic territories along the Red Sea coast.

Rashad al-Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, labeled the action a terrorist attack. He promised a firm response from government-aligned forces, which receive support from Saudi Arabia.

The Dawn of Yemen operation seeks to regain control of areas held by the Iran-aligned group. Instability in the Red Sea region remains a major concern for the security of global trade routes.
