Three Civilians Killed in Separate Explosions in Yemen
Yemen’s Houthi-affiliated health ministry reported that three people were killed in two distinct incidents involving artillery shelling and unexploded ordnance. The events occurred in the Shadaa and Hays districts.
According to reports from Yemen’s Houthi-affiliated health ministry, three individuals have died in two separate incidents involving explosive hazards. Dr. Anees Alasbahi, a spokesperson for the ministry, stated that artillery shelling in the al-Waqr area of Shadaa District resulted in one death and two injuries.
In a separate incident, two people were killed in an explosion involving unexploded ordnance in the Beit Bish area, located near Al-Rawn in the Hays District. The ministry provided these figures as part of an ongoing assessment of civilian casualties in the region.
While the ministry has attributed these deaths to specific explosive events, there is currently no independent verification of the circumstances surrounding the shelling or the origin of the unexploded ordnance. The reports highlight the persistent danger posed by remnants of war and ongoing military activity in Yemen, which continue to threaten civilian safety in rural districts.
