[Regnum] Saudi Arabian airstrikes on a market in Taiz province in southwestern Yemen killed at least seven people, the Health Ministry, controlled by the Shiite Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, reported on September 27.

There are also casualties. According to the ministry, 40 people were injured, including five children. The Ministry of Health clarified that the bombing targeted retail premises in a market in the Al-Taiziyah district, as well as the premises of a local radio station.

The strikes came the day after the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, was again attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, air raid sirens are being issued almost daily in one or more regions of the kingdom.

The armed conflict between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen has been ongoing since August 2014. On July 13, Yemeni Houthis attacked the international airport in Abha in retaliation for a Saudi air strike on Sana'a Airport. This violated the ceasefire between the Saudis and the Iran-backed Houthis, which had been in effect since 2022. A week later, Yemeni Houthis announced the beginning of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia. In their statement, they warned that they reserved the right to a comprehensive escalation in response to Riyadh's actions.
