Summary
53 soldiers were killed and 200 wounded when Houthi forces fired ballistic missiles at a military camp in Yemen, authorities said Monday.
Video posted on social media showed the aftermath of the strike, one of the deadliest attacks since fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and government forces flared again this summer.
The attack came a day after Houthi health officials said a Saudi-led airstrike killed at least nine people in rebel-held northern Yemen.
Saudi authorities had not commented on that reported airstrike, underscoring the rapid escalation in Yemen's renewed conflict.
