A military strike on the Yemeni city of Marib has resulted in at least two fatalities and numerous injuries, according to officials from Yemen’s government. Health Minister Qassem Bahaibah reported that the attack wounded 14 people and characterized the responsible group as a militant organization. He emphasized that the casualty figures remained preliminary and that medical facilities across the region had been instructed to enhance their readiness in response to the incident.
Government authorities condemned the operation as a deliberate assault on civilian populations and humanitarian shelters, describing it as a breach of international law. The ministry’s statement stressed that the targeting of residential neighborhoods and displacement camps housing vulnerable populations violated fundamental humanitarian principles and called on the global community to take decisive action to safeguard civilians.
The attack followed a previous incident the day before in which dozens of government military personnel were reported killed across neighboring provinces. A spokesman from the responsible organization claimed their forces had struck military targets and installations. The escalating violence reflects ongoing tensions in the region, with similar incidents affecting neighboring countries as well, and occurring amid broader regional instability.
