Missile attack by Houthi rebels in Yemen kills 17, injures several

A missile attack by Houthi rebels in the city of Marb has killed 17 people and injured several others.

According to a foreign news agency, Houthi rebels fired a missile at a gas station in the Yemeni city of Marb, killing 17 people and wounding several others, while shortly after, the rebels also attacked with two explosive drones, including an ambulance. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a police recruiting center.

Arab media say several vehicles were parked at the gas station, but children and women were also killed in the attack, while the condition of those injured in the blaze is critical, leading to fears of an increase in casualties.

It should be noted that the Houthi rebels have repeatedly tried to target the Saudi civilian population and the oil fields located there, but these attacks have been thwarted by the Arab coalition forces.
