▲ Houthi rebels in Yemen
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched an attack on a government military base in southern Yemen on the 19th (local time), killing at least 20 soldiers, the Associated Press reported.
According to multiple Yemeni military officials, the Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at the Al-Alam military base in the southern province of Shabwa.
The attack killed at least 20 people and left more than 24 others injured.
This death toll is the largest since July, when the Houthi rebels formalized the end of a truce with Saudi Arabia and the Saudi-backed government and resumed full-scale attacks.
Meanwhile, the Houthi-run health ministry claimed that airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition the previous day in the Houthi-controlled northern province of Saada killed at least nine people, including five children and two women.
The rebels claimed the strike was one of several attacks over the weekend that resulted in more than 30 casualties.
The Saudi side did not immediately issue a comment regarding the incident.
