30 Yemeni Soldiers Killed in Attack During Military Exercise

HeadlineAug 30, 2021

In southern Yemen, at least 30 soldiers were killed and 60 others injured Sunday, after Houthi rebels fired missiles from a drone at a Saudi-led coalition air base. The attack struck dozens of soldiers on morning military exercises. It came as U.N.-brokered peace talks between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis have stalled. Since 2015, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen have killed nearly 1,500 civilians per year on average, a quarter of them children, while sparking the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
