Yemen’s Minister of Health, Qassem Bahaibah, announced that a strike on the Marib region has resulted in the deaths of two civilians. According to government reports, the attack also left 14 other individuals injured. Officials have explicitly accused Houthi forces of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, specifically citing residential neighborhoods and camps housing displaced persons.

Marib has long been a focal point of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, serving as a critical stronghold for the internationally recognized government. The area frequently hosts large numbers of people who have fled violence in other parts of the country, making the impact of such strikes particularly severe for the civilian population. While the government has attributed the strike to Houthi forces, there has been no immediate public response or confirmation from the Houthi leadership regarding the incident. The lack of independent verification from the ground complicates the ability to confirm the specific weaponry used or the precise intent behind the strike. As of now, the situation remains tense, with humanitarian organizations monitoring the impact on the local displacement camps.
