Houthi authorities said airstrikes on a market in southwestern Yemen killed at least 30 people. Yemen's Saudi-backed government denied carrying out the strikes and blamed the Houthis, while the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of bombing the market. The Associated Press could not independently verify either account. The competing claims leave responsibility for the strike unresolved, and no independent confirmation of the casualty figure was available in the reports reviewed. The incident adds to the wider Saudi-Houthi confrontation that has continued alongside the regional escalation involving Iran.
